Nigerians have suffered the high price of tomatoes as a result of scarcity caused by tuta absoluta, also known as ‘tomatoc ebola’ and poor government policies.
This affected the crop in most parts of the north-west, notably Kaduna, Jigawa, Katsina and Kano states.
As a result, the basket prices jumped from the range of N800-N1200 to between N25,000 and N40,000 at the height of the crisis.
Chairman of the tomato sellers, Abass Mai Tumatur, told newsmen it was a “pleasant relief” for everyone as tomato is now available and in large quantities.
