Residents in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT) are complaining about a continuing increase in the price of tomatoes in Abuja markets. Multiple reports describe how shoppers find the staple more expensive than before and how this affects everyday food purchasing. The coverage also points to factors contributing to the higher prices, including seasonal scarcity in tomato supply. Transport costs are cited as another driver, with traders and wholesalers facing higher expenses to move produce to markets. The reports further mention post-harvest losses, which reduce the quantity of tomatoes available for sale and can push prices up as fresh produce becomes harder to source. Overall, the articles present residents’ concerns alongside commonly cited market explanations for the price rise, reflecting both consumer pressure and supply-side challenges affecting tomato availability in the FCT.
