Nigeria ranks as the second highest producer of tomatoes in Africa. The country is 13th in the world (FAO 2011) but Nigeria is NOT on the list of official exporting countries of tomato or tomato products. Nigeria imports both fresh and processed tomatoes. A whooping N11.7 billion is spent annually to import processed tomato paste into the country. The productivity and economic value of this vegetable crop in Nigeria is hindered by an array of factors that make its cultivation difficult and cumbersome. Pests and diseases are major factors in the low tomato production especially in the southern part of the country. Storage technologies for the fruit need to bemodernized to avoid post-harvest losses. Farmers usually practice rain fed agriculture and at the peak of the season there is a glut that results in very high losses.
This University of Ibadan research study is designed to develop tomato varieties that are resistant to pests and diseases. Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) strategies and post-harvest technologies will be developed for the sustainable production of tomato in Nigeria. The GAPs strategies will incorporate resistance, clonal propagation and pest management using biopesticides. Value addition strategies and appropriate packaging systems will also be developed to enhance the economic value of tomato production in Nigeria.
The three year project will lead to:
A University of Ibadan variety of tomato resistant to pest and adapted to sustainable cultivation system will be produced and made available for commercial interests.

The primary mission of the UI-Research Foundation is to award and manage research grants funded by the University as a novel initiative to sustain the research base and strengthen the scholastic standards at the University. It will provide frameworks to facilitate continuous scholarship and professional development of the staff in order for them to build on their primary training and expertise.  The Foundation is intended as a means for the University to recognize, nurture and retain talents among its staff and faculty. Access to international grants will be enhanced and platforms will be built to foster participation in novel research that will bring new capacities for the individual staff as well as innovative facilities for the University of Ibadan.
    “Research and Innovation for Societal Needs" The University of Ibadan has created a research foundation as a platform to Foster leading edge research, Nurture talents among staff, Maintain a high scholastic environment necessary to meet the missions of the University.
