Edit



As if the scarcity of tomatoes, which has been evident in the country, is not good enough,  new report according Puch has it that the tomato disease has spanned across more other states in the country, increasing the scarcity of the commodity. The federal government , on Tuesday, confirmed that the discovered pest , Tuta Absoluta is responsible for  the destruction of several tomato farmlands in the country.


As the scarcity of the commodity is still on the increase, Nigeria has spent  about eighty billion aira, and four hundred million  annually, importing tomato paste into the country. It was even noted, according to the report, that some of these imported pastes are substandard.
The report that tomatoes processing factories has moped-up the commodity in Nigeria, has been disproved as the minister of Agriculture and Rural Development briefed newsmen in Abuja, adding that such report are false and unfounded.

He also added that ‘ highly productive species, with the favourable environment and lack of management abilities for containment is the major cause of its spread like wildfire without control. The recent development has been confirmed in states like Lagos, Plateau, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina and Jigawa.
The minister however stated that the FG has started consulting with states and experts in order to device a lasting solution to the pest-aided destruction. He also added that experts had come up with many species of tomato that flourish in the western part of the country, as alternatives.
