Wow!
ReplyDeleteThe reason? NEPA.
ReplyDeleteFix electricity and people will set up factories to produce canned tomatoes.
hmmmmm na who do us?
ReplyDeleteThe Irony... 14th largest producer in the world yet biggest Importer ��
ReplyDeleteSad!
ReplyDeleteLack of Infrastructure has made Nigeria an import nation
ReplyDeleteSAD! So we simply CANT convert our fresh tomatoes to stored paste...So so sad!
ReplyDeleteThat's good
ReplyDeleteNa dis one dem dey call tomatoe Jos
ReplyDeleteI love fresh tomatoes
ReplyDeleteSo what do we do with all the tomatoes?
ReplyDeleteIt is well with Nigeria 🇳🇬
ReplyDeletePropaganda! Majority of the tomatoes we consume in this country is from Cameroon. They bring them from Cameroon through Cross River State, Ogoja axis precisely straight to the North.
ReplyDeleteThese round juicy ones are from Cameroon it's the oblong not so reddish ones that are home grown...
You don " minnit"?
DeleteWaawu!!
What?? Tomato from cameroun through cross river straight to the North? Say something else pls. You can as well say the irish potatoes and vegetables are imported.
DeleteAunty if you don't gerrarahere with your lies. Do you have any idea the quantity of tomatoes that is farmed in Jos alone not to talk of other northern states. So because the importers are also dumb they'll bring tomato from Cross River down to the North before taking them to other states since Northern weather preserves tomato na
DeleteAre you Alright
DeleteMiss Aboki and Anon 15.17 I don't say what I don't know and or what I can't prove! Before you attack or accuse me, confirm from people who are into the business.
DeleteAt least I was specific, I gave details. About going through Cross River State, do you know of any faster route from that part of Cameroon?
.Mama Mia is right, I live in Ikom Crs.we share a boundary with Cameroon and there is a lot of tomatoes importation going on here, especially when there is scarcity of tomatoes, northerners come down here to buy it.
DeleteIf u like u believe
I'm not doubting you ooo. I'm just wondering ehy they have to "taje it straight to the north" before they start distributing it to other parts when they can easily start the distribution from the north. Pls explain ma
DeleteMiss Aboki, it's a business that is strictly a northern affair. You do not expect me to be the one explaining to you how enclosed their circle can be especially when it has do with business.
DeleteIt has to be deposited in the north to create the impression that they produce it there! There is also the case of not wanting non northerners to be involved in the whole action.
Well like I said, you are free to ask people who are into the business.
I hope I was able to make it a little more understandable.
Leave them,as an ikom girl,with my mum in the same tomato business,you are 100 percent right!
DeleteThey do that only when tomatoes is scarce. The ones in the market now are produced in the north.

DeleteYes.listen to Agricultures ministers full speech on it.He analysed it all, apparently there is a huge market for importers in Nigeria, so they will rather frustrate local farmers so they can continue their lucrative business. As for me and my house, I don't use canned tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame
ReplyDeleteHave anyone stored tomatoes by grinding, boiling, draining and storing in empty bottles of mayonnaise in the freezer? I heard from someone and I want to confirm if it works
ReplyDeleteIf you’re storing in the freezer, you don’t need empty mayonnaise bottles or glass jars.
DeleteAny plastic bowl with a tight cover will do.
You only need glass jars if you’re canning with heat to pasteurise and storing in a cool dark place, like a pantry.
Yes
DeleteI don't know of storing in Mayoinesse bottle.
DeleteYou can store in plastic container.
To avoid a sour taste, do not add onions to the people and tomato before you grind.
You can slice, pound in small mortar, or grate the onion when you want to use the blended tomato.
Thanks guys, I will try it out
DeleteI have half basket of processed tomatoes in a bama container waiting for scarce period
ReplyDeleteYes@ Amanda favour I have done it.just make sure the bottle is air tight. Boil it again inside the bottle for like 30 minutes after putting the drained tomatoes inside the bottles. You don't need to store them in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteAlright, thank you
