This is very true, Lessel is my home town and I know what those women usually pass through in the hands of those who call themselves marketers.
I Ave witnessed them pour it on the ground and match it on several occasions.

Does it mean there are no entrepreneurs or business men in Benue that can make paste with these cheap tomatoes?

No thinkers in Benue that can set up a tomato paste factory?
Well, your opinion is right. But, the truth is that it is not feasible as you think.i
As you know the system of farming in Nigeria, which is carried out with traditional methods.
Almost all those farmers you see there are subsistent farmers that use crude implements coupled with the fact that they are solely dependent on natural rain. There is no way they will produce what a factory will need per day. Except the factory engage in cultivation of tomatoes itself.

That's why we experienced tomato scarcity in the market in 2016, when Dangote wanted to set up such factory in the north. The tomato farmers in the whole north could not even meet its need.

It's no setup. I live in gboko and during tomato season in ubangaji, you can get a basket for #100, #120
It's a pity there are no factories to process the tomatoes.

That's a fake news.
This lady just want to trend if not, how can a basket of tomatoes goes for N150 at this period of tomato scarcity.

If it's around January/February I may believe her but not now when farmers are transplanting the seedlings.
I live in makurdi,30mins drive from the capital here is wannune in tarka local gov't where you can get a basket of tomato for 100 naira in the morning on market days and even free in the evening because the farmers sees it as a load to take back home....she is totally right

Since the land looks fertile enough for bulk tomato cultivation, why can't business men in Benue open a factory, set a farm up while combing all the ones planted by individuals for factory use?

Foodstuffs are actually cheap in benue o.
A friend of mine bought a basket of oranges for 150 naira at wurukum market and the oranges were very sweet!
I met a guy who said he once went for a job in Benue. And that he was thirsty of orange so he asked an indigene to help him get orange, he gave the dude #200 and the dude asked him the worth he should get him, replied "use the whole #200" thinking it won't be more than 5 at most... Guess what, the dude came back with a wheelbarrow filled with oranges.. Lol

According to this Benue state indigene, there's a town where a whole basket of tomatoes sell for only N150. Little wonder Benue is referred to as the food basket of the nation.

Chai!
150 for a basket of tomatoes?

Our business sense in Nigeria is not helping matters at all.
While it's unavailable here in Lagos, it's perishing down Benue.
It's totally unacceptable!

We can help create fortunes for the farmers and ourselves-lets link up.
