Governor El-Rufai of Kaduna state
has declared a state of emergency on the state after moths destroyed swaths of
tomato fields, threatening supplies of the country’s leading staple
food.
Nigerian farmers describe the outbreak as “Tomato Ebola” after the deadly disease that devastated west Africa in 2014.

Tomato prices have gone up as a result of the moth Tuta absoluta, adding to existing hardships from a 67% rise in the price of petrol and soaring inflation in Africa’s largest economy.
“We have declared a state of emergency over the outbreak of a moth
that has destroyed over 80% of tomato farms in the state,” the Kaduna
state agriculture commissioner, Manzo Daniel, told AFP.
The tomato shortage caused by the outbreak has caused prices to go up “astronomically”, he added.
Tuta absoluta, which originated in South America and spread to
Europe and Africa, quickly develops resistance to pesticides, making it
difficult to contain.
