NATPAN Calls For Federal Government to Deal With Tomato Post-Harvest Losses
The National Tomato Growers, Processors and Marketers Association of Nigeria (NATPAN) requests the Federal Government to reduce post-harvest losses of the produce.
The chairman of NATPAN, Rabiu Zuntu stated on Tuesday that the government inference will cut down the post-harvest losses.
“Most farmers cannot afford loans for this equipment to aid reduction of post-harvest losses because they are smallholder farmers. The government can help tomato farmers reduce post-harvest losses by coming to their aid with interventions.”
“With the use of plastic crates for the transportation of tomatoes from one part of Nigeria to the other, the rate of post-harvest losses will be reduced.”
It has been noted that there is now an increase in fuel all around Nigeria, from … to 1000 plus in fuel stations.
It was also noted that Dangote Petroleum Refinery increased the price to 1,175 per litre and diesel has been increased to 1,620 per litre.
