Fighting food waste in Nigeria – a conversation with SAVE FOOD’s 2024 competition winner

Packaging Europe Season 7 Episode 10

Each year, a significant portion of Nigeria’s tomato harvest is lost before it ever reaches the consumer. Working to tackle this issue is Tomato Jos, the winner of last year’s SAVE FOOD project competition. It is an agricultural processing company that works at the intersection of agriculture, logistics and packaging, supporting smallholder farmers and refining supply chain processes through a combination of modern technology, improved transport packaging and education programmes. Elisabeth Skoda finds out more from Tomato Jo’s Esson Akolo.
