Mile 12 Market chairman links high cost of tomato, pepper to insecurity, others

A small basket of tomatoes goes for about N35,000 at the market, while the price of pepper has also jumped, raising concerns among Nigerians.

“The bone of contention and the real fact is just insecurity. There’s absolutely nothing the country will do. This price hike will continue. They are still buying tomato at the rate of N1,000 for three pieces. Usman said that some of the farmers negotiate and pay bandits before they could go to their farms to harvest the products.
