Managing Director, Dangote Tomato Processing Company , Alhaji Abdulkarim Kaita, on Monday revealed the factory would commence production on Sunday, March 19.
Kaita said the company had decided to resume production following the availability of the commodity and the recent crash of its prices in the market.
“The price of the commodity has come down as a big basket, which was selling at N4,000, now cost between N1,200 and N1,400,” Kaita said.
It will be recalled that the company had last year stopped production due to the scarcity of fresh tomato as a result of pest that ravaged farms in Kano and other tomato-producing states.
