How To Start A Profitable Tomato Farming Business In Nigeria In 2022 With Little Or No Experience – Part 1
Yes, it is true. You can start a profitable tomato business in Nigeria this 2022 with little or no experience; with the condition that you follow our guide.
From all indications there is nothing stopping Nigeria from leading the world in tomato production. The country has all it takes to lead the world in tomato production, but that leadership position has not been taken because of some limiting factors.
We are all aware of the crisis in the crude oil industry; several countries are currently looking for other sources of energy to power their industries. Many successful entrepreneurs who have made money in the past want avenues to invest their resources; food is among the most important needs in the world today, therefore any profitable investment in food is fantastic.
There is no gainsaying the fact that the agricultural sector in Nigeria has been neglected for decades, but time has come for the nation to go back to the land in order to save the country. We need to feed more than 200 million citizens; the revenue from oil is dwindling fast and the population is growing, the only solution left is agriculture.
Are you aware that Nigeria is sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest producer of tomatoes? But it will shock you that the tomatoes we produce in the country is not enough to satisfy the population. I was shocked when a transporter told me that he goes every morning to Benin Republic to bring fresh tomatoes to be sold in Nigeria. You can imagine this, and there are many people in the same Nigeria crying about unemployment. What an irony.
Despite the strong position we occupy in the tomato producing business, the country still spends more than $500 million every year importing tomatoes and tomato products (purees, pastes, canned) from other countries of the world. Nigeria is one of the world’s biggest importers of tomatoes.
Tomato is a very important crop in Nigeria, there is no tribe that does not use tomatoes to prepare meals in the country; that is the reason why the demand is too high for the current producers to satisfy the local demand.
This is the reason why we have decided to bring to you this article today; with this article as guide you can conveniently start your own profitable tomatoes business this year 2022.
Before going into the details of what to do in the business of producing tomatoes, let us analyze what the problem is in the tomato business. I follow the issue of tomato very passionately; I always monitor what is happening in one of the largest tomato markets in Nigeria – the mile 12 market in Lagos Nigeria.
The biggest problem facing tomato business in Nigeria today is storage and preservation; more than 50% of tomatoes that set out to enter the market never make it whole, they get damaged and thrown away before getting to the market. The traders have no option than to recoup their cost by inflating the price of the remaining good ones that made it to the market. So much quantity of tomatoes produced in Nigeria are wasted; even when they make it to the market, there is no storage facility causing most of them to go bad again.
In many parts of Nigeria and Africa in general, tomatoes are mainly farmed by local small scale farmers who have limited knowledge of good farming techniques and access to good seeds, fertilizers and pesticides. Majority of them depend on natural rainfall to grow their tomatoes; this method of farming makes harvests very unpredictable and inconsistent.
Serious countries no longer depend of natural factors to run their agricultural programmes; they use irrigation and other artificial factors to tilt agricultural yield to their advantage.
In this our guide on tomato farming, we are going to look at Netherlands as our focal point, because the country has become an agricultural giant by showing the world what the future of farming looks like.
We are going to share with you what the Dutch greenhouses sector has used to turn tomato farming into an efficient business with the highest yield of tomato per square metre in the world.
