Director of Nigerian Export Promotion Council:
"Nigeria ready for tomato export"
Olusegun Awolowo, the Executive Director of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), has declared that the country has put in place the necessary facilities to make locally produced tomatoes much more exportable.
He claimed that the export drive for Nigerian agricultural produce has reached a point of no return, adding that Nigeria was set to hit the global market with quality agro-allied products.
Awolowo made the declaration on Thursday in Benin City while commending an indigenous producer of tomatoes, Wells Hosa Greenhouse Farms Limited, for deploying the use of greenhouse technology to produce exportable tomatoes in the country.
According to thenationonlineng.net, Awolowo explained that with the technology, Nigeria could now start to export tomatoes to every part of the world, maintaining that the technology would also help to end the era of Nigeria’s tomatoes being infected by different forms of diseases, and hence becoming unacceptable to overseas markets.
