What Farmers Are Doing This Year To Boost Tomato Production. by Zenithenergyenz(m): 8:56pm On May 15, 2020
Over 85% of tomato farmers in Nigeria still plant tomatoes in old and outdated ways. With it’s annual production of 1.8 million metric tonnes of tomatoes, Nigeria takes short of domestic demand for 2.4 million metric tonnes annually

Due to the poor yield of tomato farming per hectare, there is a short supply of tomato to the national demand. This has made the average yield of tomatoes in Nigeria to be about 2 tonnes while in other countries like Israel, U.S.A, yields of tomato can be up to 100 tonnes per hectare.
Tomatoes grow best in slightly acidic soil with the optimum pH level being between 6.2 to 6.8. Soil that is below 6.0 pH level is too acidic for a tomato plant to grow.

When it comes to planting tomato, preparing the soil is the number one factor that determines how fast your tomatoes will grow. It also determines if you will be harvesting more or low tomatoes. Low-level nutrients in the soil are responsible for low tomato yield.
