Presently, Nigerians are lamenting the high cost of tomatoes in the
market. However, the state of emergency declared on tomatoes is not
related to its high cost. Kaduna State governor, Nasir El Rufai has
declared "State of Emergency on TomatoeS" due to outbreak of destructive
pests. It was learnt that 80% of tomato farms have been destroyed by the pests called tomato blight ( tuta absoluta) and over 200 tomato farmers in
three Local Government Areas of the state were
affected by the
destructive pests and suffered lost worth N1 billion in the last one
month.
The state Commissioner of Agriculture, Dr. Maigari Daniel
Manzo made this known during a news conference in Kaduna. He also stated
that officials of the ministry of agriculture had been sent to Kenya to
liaise with experts with a view to finding solutions to the problem.
