a moth or rather tomatoes blight ravaged most of the crop in the country, 85% and no solution for now,not the government fault, but they are not doing well to communicate this to the populace it has really add to the cost of other items in the market,information management is zero in that aspect, if the govt had inform the people other items won't be that expensive.

I dnt get the hullabaloo abt dis tomato ish. We had fun whn tomatoes was abundant, now dt its scarce, can we find suitable alternative? We hav fried rice, we hav other nutricious sauces, vegetable soup, banga etc. Every body is practically acting as if our existence depends on tomatoes. Dried tomatoes ar sold, manage or get the pastes.
Enough wit this tomatoes cry. It haff do.

Most Nigerian homes, N.B- not Nigerian students o, have always used fresh tomatoes to make stew, sauce, fry eggs etc.
There's that lovely taste it gives. Tin tomatoes- (we're talking of purees now and not plum) may be added if the bell pepper blended with the tomatoes is too much.

Anyway, I hope the prices of tomatoes come down soon. I learnt Dangote has just started a tomato puree company somewhere in the north and that's why fresh tomatoes are scarce, though I don't know how reliable the "sauce" of that news is.

No its not because of dangote, our farms got attacked by a pests, u could say how cheap tomatoes were in the early part of this year
Not his fault bro

This actually makes more sense.

Can someone tell me if there was a bad harvest of tomatoes this year in Nigeria or explain why there is a scarcity and hike in price given for over 10 years more than 80% of the tomatoes harvested go to waste.

I feel this shortage is artificial
