A small basket of tomoto was N200 yesterday at kawo kaduna. who need canned tomoto when fresh ones are available and very cheap, and truly even when tomato ebola came my wife used dried tomato, is by far better than tin tomato.
If the locally produced canned tomatoes are not relevant locally, there is nothing saying that we cannot export and earn foreign exchange for the country.

It might interest you to know that Nigeria is the 15th largest producer of tomatoes in the world. While other countries are processing and exporting their excess, over 60% of annual yield is wasted away due to a lack of processing capacity.

That you mentioned Gino means you don't know good tomatoes. Gino is a horrible brand, which specializes in making dark and horrible looking paste. Wish the days of De Rica could be rolled back.

SexyBabe001:
The Dangote Tomato Processing Factory in Kadawa, Kura Local Government Area of Kano State is to resume production in February.

The company, which began production in Feb. 2016, had to suspend operation due to lack of enough raw materials.
The Managing Director of the company, Alh. Abdulkadir Kaita, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Kano.

He added that preparation for production to resume was at an advanced stage.

Kaita said that the company had to suspend production, when most of the tomato farms in about five states were affected by a pest, which destroyed all the tomato species.

“We expect that tomato farmers would have produced enough for the company to process, hence our decision to resume production in February,’’ he said.

According to him, many tomato farmers at the Kadawa, Kura, Garun-Malam and Hadeja-Jama’are irrigation sites are expected to produce enough for the company to process.

“We deliberately decided to resume production in February because we don’t want to create scarcity of the commodity.

“We want to make sure that there is enough to process so that its price will not go up,” Kaita said.

He said that the company which had the capacity to process 40 trucks or 1,200 tonnes of fresh tomatoes per day, would soon begin recruitment of additional staff.

“All our trained staff are still with us and we are paying them salary but if there is need to recruit additional staff, we will do so to ensure effective service delivery,’’ he said .

NAN recalls that a pest popularly known as “Tuta Absoluta’’ destroyed tomato farms in Kano, Jigawa, Plateau, Katsina and Kaduna states.

That's smart. Introduce Tuta Absoluta to kill off competitors. Then sell GMO seeds to farmers.

When all the carcinoma that are decimating the West burns through Nigeria, it will be like a gas station on fire.

MrPresident1:
No one knows the exact day that Jesus Christ will come back, but the Bible gives us the reference period when all things MUST end including the establishment of the kingdom of God.

In the Book of Daniel 2:44, we are told that Christ will come during the days of trying to mix iron and clay. Now the incoming rulers of iron have said that they will not have anything to do with clay when they come in, and Daniel tells us that it is in the days of trying to mix iron and clay that the kingdom of Christ will be set up.

The days of trying to mix iron and clay ends on the 20th of January 2017

Let us all prepare to receive our Messiah, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in our watchfulness and sobriety. He will be here on or before tue 20th of January 2017

The govt has said it will ban tomato paste imports completely this 2017, but everyone folds their hands and waits for only Dangote and Erisco to produce everything (I even hear erisco has moved his production out of Nigeria to China where production is cheaper). Very soon when tomato paste importation is banned and Dangote becomes the only one, people would start the usual lamentations again about how Dangote is monopolising everything.

Its not even about monopolising, let him just make it cheap and affordable and same time the quality should remain same or increased and never decreased and sold at same price, u don't expect me to buy dangotes own when other imported ones are cheaper and beter in quality and quantity

It will not be cheaper or better than the imported ones, at least not for now; this is something we should all have in mind. It is this lure for cheaper and seemingly better quality products that led a giant Nigeria to being a crippled begging nation which imports everything including toothpick, palm oil and petrol. If we must get it right again as a nation, we must be prepared to just manage/tolerate whatever rubbish we can produce for now. It will get better with time.

The more reason they have to be encouraged so that they can produce good quality paste like Gino. In this day and age it is a big shame for us to be importing tomato paste from other countries when we have enough capacity for self sufficiency and export of tomato. We keep exporting our jobs to those countries and wonder why we have high unemployment.
Dangote/erisco should be encouraged .

Not in Enugu here... I've searched Shoprite and Roban Stores, nothing. The last time I was in PH, which was about a month ago, I had to stop at Park N Shop to get some things and also checked. Found nothing. I know it is available in Lagos though. I even used it about a year back.

Sorry sir, u sound very naive... were u on this planet when there was shortage of tomatoes sometime last yearhuh hope ur wife was not affected since she is a specialist in drying tomatoes, tomato u are seeing will get perish if not preserve and in no time u will start blaming PMB for tomato shortage. Because ur wife feed u with dried tomatoes does not means everybody likes it. There shouldn't be a tomato paste industry because ur wife is a specialist in drying tomatoeshuh Will she feed the whole nation with her dried tomatoeshuh

The only reason he is reopening the factory is because of the cheapness of tomatoes now. So expect price of tomatoes to rise

It is readily available here in Abuja.
I bought at NGN70.00 per sachet last time I went shopping.
If you really need some, I could help buy some sachets and waybill it to Enugu.

Gino is more popular than any other brand of tomatoes paste among the common man.
Besides I used Gino as example, and yes you can also have the taste of both erisco & dangote tomatoes paste to know what am saying.
Get yourself dangote noodles as well and compare it with popular indomie.
you cant force me to ear something that the manufacturer himself can't eat just because you want to buy naija to grow naira.

but these companies are not ready to give us quality product.
dangote can't eat tomatoe paste produced in his own factory and you want me yo eat it?
America do import some of the foods that they consumed over there, I will be glad if you can check the difference between dangote noodles & that if popular indomie noodles.

The fact that indomie is the market leader doesn't mean other noodles are not edible or harmful so also is tomato paste . Dangote paste is fit for consumption and certified so in this case quality is relative as far as the paste meet acceptable standard. Like peak milk is probably the best quality and most expensive milk doesn't make three crown or Luna unfit for consumption.
