Bad planning by the management,tomatoes can be harvested under three months. With irrigation,it will be an all year crop

Such a very retrogressive way of thinking, you never even thought it was an opportunity for you and I to look at the possibility of turning into farmers or investing farming of tomatoes. Somebody just seize the initiative and you are saying he lacked foresight.

No single tomato tu buy for market he bi like this world won end

bro exactly, infact eh i dunno whether it is wickedness or what... almost everything seems not to be working even agriculture, in this 21st century where things are now done easily with the advancement of technology. these days one can plant anything regardless of the prevailing weather condition or season all year round. but here is a country that just refuses to plan and harness its resources (natural resource and human) for the betterment of the people....imagine a whole giant of Africa struggling to produce 5000megawatts of electricity! where pupils still sit on bare floor to receive learning. most people are not using their brains at all! we need to start to apply scientific knowledge which can be found in the universities to solve these numerous challenges.

i am recommending that most of the people who call themselves leaders should watch this movie called martian, maybe by then they may have a change of perspective.

Love your comment

omobaekiti:
if you don't know a thing about what is being discussed why not "waka pass"Dangote never went into tomato farming,he is into tomato paste production. The article is only talking about dangote viz a viz tomato is because of the unavailability of the raw material occasioned by the pest tuta whatever. and oga pray tell how do you store tomatoes than what dangote is doing...

Okay sir..**wears boot and walks away**

I will give u but u have to waka come Ondo, wait ooo what will u give in return?

cekhoe:

Pavore9:


So because they voted for APC that is why their farms were affected by Tuta Absoluta?

LWKMD

Ghost447:
LWKMD!anyway Lucifer can use anything to punish people

Lucifer has no business in this! Preventive measures were not taken. For a region that grows Capiscum (bell pepper) and should there be an infestation of nematodes in that region, a farmer who just have the Mexican Marigold plants planted in his farm will not be affected because the root of the Marigold produces a chemical that kills nematodes as they enter the soil and this plant is all over Nigeria!

Knowledge matters!

NOETHNICITY:
Why is Nigeria so dependent on seasonal farming!

how many farmers do you know can afford irrigation

ramdris:
And who the heck goes into large scale farming without considering long term storage facilities? That is the dumbest thing av heard in a long while. Aliko should know better na..

who the heck criticises without reading and comprehension

ItzTun3chi:
we really need a concrete plan to restructure this country coz the way we are heading am afraid

who will implement the plan

agarawu23:
So should I say Ymodulus is smarter and wiser than the richest man in Africa?

Is sourcing fresh tomatoes from neighbooring countries a bad option for him?

I am not getting this tomatoe drama

EmekaBlue:

lonelydora:
Na Dangote of all people fvck up like this? Bad planning.


Where is that our Nairaland brother that went to Cameroun to buy tomatoes? See market come sell your products

how is the plan bad.

Omooba77:
Bad planning by the management,tomatoes can be harvested under three months. With irrigation,it will be an all year crop

na you go share d irrigation equipment ba

MARKone:
Why must tomatoes be predominantly planted in these Northern states, there are arable lands, in the south East and south West were tomatoes can flourish, a lesson for everyone, the one Nigeria mantra should not be toyed with

how many southerners want to farm .you ready to farm?

mikolo80:
do you know how many of us are in Nigeria

not an excuse

Pavore9:

It just feels like a jinx.
Tomatoes that used to be so abundant in the North??

borrowed money from first bank in limbo you owe more than your worth face only cement stop killing our economy

you want them too to enter crisis mode. they cannot feed us. no African country can. should be the other way round.

Omooba77:

Dangote made a strategic investment during a period of tomato abundance. The disease/ worms eating up the tomatoes is like a epidermic/pandemic.

These are the normal risks in doing business..

All dem strategic planners..

Knowledge matters!

A friend wrote about a company called Omo alata whose major raw materials include tomatoes and pepper. If this scarcity of tomatoes will accect a big company establishment like Dangote's, I wonder how smaller company's like Omoalata will survive.

Sometimes, I'm on Nairaland just to observe the stupidity of some Nigerians!
