This is the most insensitive government Nigeria has ever had. You've not created an enabling environment for manufacturers to thrive but you find solace in banning commodities that you don't have the local capacity to produce.

This form of harsh economic ideology cannot jumpstart the mirage of eldorado those idiots in Aso Rock think will happen. You cannot put the cart before the horse and expect to move forward. Provide the electricity and necessary infrastructures to an appreciable level before all these ban. For pete sakes, you are not producing anything yet and you expect manufacturing to start out of the blues cos of some BAN.

I don't know how they think in Aso Rock. It is obvious we have some bunch of dumboes in power who thought process is far off their behind.

Of course but not when people have died from food poison. Quality Assurance bro

Hope Erisco has relocated to China like he said? let's see how he's going to sell his tomato paste in Nigeria.

Hope supply will be able to meet up with demand if not don't complain when the price skyrockets

They are stupid.

If they really want to reduce the demand for dollar, why not deregulate the downstream sector of the petroleum industry, privatise the refineries and kickstart this their modular refinery plan. In fact if they really wanted to reduce the dollar demand, this administration would've done this eons ago (on 30 - 5 - 2015).

Even a toddler knows that petroleum products are the main things that places a major demand on our forex reserves.

This is just to appease a few powerful men

nigeria would never grow with your kind of mentality. Do you think there is good quality anywhere in the world. I have worked in production here in CA for years. All this oyinbo ppl do is hype. Their stuff is shit.

sweetgala:
Actually you are the one who is not conversant with the ways in which major economies of the word grow. Between the 19th and late 20th century USA engaged in heavy protectionism and this enabled local industry to grow at it's own pace in absence of established international competition this same method was adopted by Germany post world war, China untile recently , Korea also used this policy to protect local industry.

Any of the several acclaimed millionaires bin Nigeria hi doesn't see the obvious opportunity of a decent cut of $170million/year is not deserving of being called a business man. If I had access to capital I'd invest in a small processing plant myself

Hope We Have A Tomato Factory To Meet Local Demand

That's how they banned importation of rice that we normally buy @7,500-9000 for home grown rice that we now have to thank the government after buying substandard rice @13000. Now its tomatoe paste. No problem, I just discovered cooking jollof rice or spaghetti with correct ingredients no need tomato paste so far you don get dry pepper, before I can't do without it, and I don't need tomato to make egusi or draw soup. And to make real soup, I use real tomato. So using tomato paste now, for me, is not by force.

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:
Must we eat imported tin tomato? Must we even eat tin tomato self ?

Did our greatgrandfather eat tin tomato?

MyMouth:
Erisco tomato paste is the best but very scarce in the market here in the north.

InvestinOwerri:
After frustrating erisco out of Nigeria, they are now baning its importation in order to give dangote monopoly over another important sector! They should continue!!

Our great grandfathers didn't do a whole lot of other things too. I guess we should just go back to those years because of buhari.

BossOluwendy:
That's what this government does best, ban this ban that but without provisions on ground to meet demands! Very soon, there will scarcityof tomatoes in the market! .
It's a good move though but has the government made provisions on ground to meet local demand of tomato?

whitering:
All because of Erisco abi. I regretted the day I bought his tomatoes paste. something is surely wrong with this my Buhari.

obailala:
Government has already taken care of that by this ban. Now more individuals would start setting up tomato plants... We cannot keep importing everything and this is the only way to discourage the import craze.

Nigeria currently has 2 major tomato paste producers, even if they dont have the capacity to produce all we need, with the current import ban, foreign tomato paste would become more expensive, Nigerians would begin to patronise Nigerian tomato paste and that will encourage more investors to set up new tomato plants. There os nothing brainless about this policy.

Jiang:
patience, And they are enough tomato paste factory to supply Nigerians. well i only used fresh tomatoes over here in the north. But there are still some tomato paste we people dey sell for shop. though diffrent companies but all made in Nigeria. i Belive they deserve a chance

eph12:
I hope cost of production is not high? Because I trust Nigerians, high cost of production coupled with higher demand is a recipe for disaster.

ncoolsome:
using tomatoes for egusi n draw soup?what are u trying to cook??
