Nigeria: Perennial shortage of raw materials is shutting down Nigeria’s tomato-processing plants

The perennial shortage of tomatoes in Nigeria has been identified as one of the factors behind the shutting down of tomato paste factories in the country. The Group Managing Director of Kewalram-Chanrai Group, Mr. Victor Eburajolo, recently disclosed this to journalists during the Institute of Directors Nigeria (IoD) induction in Lagos.

Eburajolo stated that tomato shortage, which worsens once the harvest season ends, directly affects his organization – Ikara Food processing Plant in Kaduna; thereby forcing them to source raw materials from smallholders.
