    Small scale farmers are the main producers of tomatoes for domestic consumption in Nigeria, as well as for the regional markets Post harvest loses, estimated to be as high as 51 percent, continue to take a heavy toll on the country’s economy With a sizeable proportion of Nigeria’s population living below the internationally accepted poverty line, major emphasis needs to be placed on minimizing losses so that produce can become available and affordable to vulnerable rural communities, in particular women and children, thereby raising the nutrition standards of rural people Most tomato production is carried out by small scale farmers However, both the small scale producers and the potential commercial growers are now affected and threatened by the outbreak and spread of Tuta absoluta This pest leads to a fungal infestation, which in turn causes rotting of the fruit either before or after harvest The project’s focus was on developing and incorporating an acceptable Integrated Pest Management ( protocol to curtail the menace of T absoluta and to mitigate its adverse effects on the processing industry, as well as the socio economic implications of farmers abandoning the tomato farming business for other crops in Nigeria, in particular in the five states selected for the execution of this pilot project ( Katsina Kaduna, Plateau and Jigawa.
