Franky826:


where is YModulus on this list? That dude is a smart entrepreneur I respect so much.

dude made at least 2k x 6500(+) baskets on his last tomato trip he shared with us nairalanders.

On profits he said 'I personally love to risk all in business so u can rise fast' as if that was not enough then he dropped the punchline, he said 'I had a mindset to hit a total profit of N10m in a 2-4 day frame'

who knows maybe he is in Cameroon now . But I will find you and when I do you'll teach me all you know

chimah3:
Good for them!!!

Hope Dangote will allow them prosper!!!

kolardzy:
Totally concur with the Op
Tomato Business is BIG business.. Really Youths should go back to agriculture as it is the only remedy to our growing excessive import problems and Oil price fluctuation problem .Nigeria has a high potential of being a TOP producer in Africa sha

Everyone praising Dangote: the West who invented canning and processing is now encouraging people to buy organic and eat healthier. So as to stop the plague of Cancer sweeping their society. But Dangote (who knows this and eats healthy) is doubling the amount paid to farmers to provide him with the tomatoes rather than sell on the open market. Making a lack of fresh tomatoes and forcing the poor to buy his product and eat less healthy. There is no wealthy family in Nigeria who eats frozen stuff and tinned tomatoes, quote me anywhere on this. But the poor don't care. This is exactly the same situation that happened in the U.S. decades ago that forced the U.S. department of health to start programs targeting blacks and minorities to eat better (they couldn't afford organic food or cooking and suddenly the rate of Cancer, obesity and diabetes and diseases was rising rapidly in that group). But Nigeria is not so fortunate. Our children are being fed cheap food lacking in nutrients whilst the wealthy do their best to live healthy.

So keep hailing Dangote.

Millerz:
The tomatoes aren't only wasted because they're not stored properly.

The main setback here is that our weather is too harsh and makes the tomato bad in a short time as compared to colder climates (eg Europe), where your tomato could last over a weekwithout being stored in the refridgerator.

I888:
You are among the problem in this country, a very HUGE one at that. Nigeria import all the tin tomatoes sold in the country, including one you use to cook your watery stew. A man decide to step in to stop the importation, here you are screaming with your conspiracy theories.

When you are already having so much hatred for the rich, why would you see where it was stated in the piece that Nigeria is the largest tomatoes producer in Africa and still the largest importer of tomatoes because of poor processing and storage facilities and therefore losing over 50% of the harvested tomatoes.

Yes, Dangote is this and that... but he has no more brains, eyes, hands and legs that your hateful self has but you would rather sit behind your 2nd hand device to spill rubbish instead of using same hands to farm tomatoes so that we won't be having the kind of shortage we currently have. Or does Dangote have 2 heads? It's a fellow Nairalander like yourself who is scouting the West bank of the continent to help reduce the shortage of tomatoes in the country, in person of Ymodulus because of the Tomatoes Ebola that has destroyed the ones we have and dangote using the few to produce tomatoes paste, which has even been suspended by his company because there are no tomatoes to supply his plant due to the tomatoes disease.

I am sure you didnt even know there is a disease that destroyed the tomatoes.

I detest and dislike people who people who are only good at blaming but can't be part of the solution... get your idle hands off that device and enter the farm if you really meaning the nonsense you wrote up there.

MR AKINWALE

He is an entrepreneur in making of Tomato plantation. He is in the experimental stage of tomato plantation to have a first hand experience of how tomato is been planted. He hopes to start a large scale tomato plantation as soon as he succeed in the experimental stage of planting tomato.
Here below is the stage he has gotten to.

This is week 3 of plantation.
I am planning to fully commence a large scape tomato plantation on a 4-5 Hectares of land after my experiment.

You're an idio.t because you know nothing. I've attended meetings with Dangote, as part of another team from another company. I can't say much because it would be easy to identify which companies I'm talking about. I'm from the class that can afford to buy fresh tomatoes no matter the price. I have a Science degree so I'm well-read on most topics and I like and followe Agriculture (ask them there, I'm looking for companies to invest in on behalf of people) and my family work for one of the biggest Agro companies around. I know more than you will ever comprehend.

And if I have this inside knowledge and I'm talking, that's because I'm a mother who sees people feeding their young children Indomie and tinned foods and I feel sad for them. Because none of the medical consultants in my life would let me do so.

Goodnight.

So what is the solution? You people should stop saying what is already obvious. We know tomatoes get spoilt BUT WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? You are part of the problem if all you ever do is talk about the problem but never the solution.
