The Agric section of NL is usually bustling with brilliant ideas from small and big time farmers and prospective farmers. Most people seem to always have export as an end goal, or at least industrial production.
Now, Tomato processing and manufacture has come to our doors. Apparently, the companies are buying off the tomatoes and there is nothing left for us the masses.
Does this mean that we cannot produce enough for our own use? that we now import from Cameroun?
Tomato is one of the easiest things to farm. In my compound, we have tomatoes growing near where we pour pepper wastes. Now, with such an easy avenue to get tomatoes, every Jacks should be able to at least produce enough tomatoes to feed his or her family, except you're renting.
I guess another problem is the preservation of tomatoes, hence where the companies become useful.
How can we solve the tomato problem immediately? Or at least within few months?
Any advice on seeds, land types, farming?
