Consumers nationwide are facing challenges due to a significant shortage of tomatoes, which has led to a marked increase in prices. This shortage is attributed to a decline in supply from key tomato-producing regions in northern Nigeria as the harvest season comes to an end. Additionally, the situation has been exacerbated by rising transportation costs, driven by escalating fuel prices linked to ongoing conflicts in the region. As a result, many consumers are exploring alternative options to meet their dietary needs amidst these rising costs.
