The new tomato processing plant, built by Swiss-based Syngenta, has the capacity to produce up to 400,000 tons of tomato paste every year for the Nigerian market. The plant is working with a network of over 50,000 smallholder tomato farmers in Northern Nigeria,he will buy off their products at a competitive price,better than that obtained in open market.The step towards cutting waste from post harvest losses is a laudable effort but more investors are needed to cut off imports completely but promote exports instead.

Value addition to tomatoes.

Tomatoes are healthy fruits with massive health benefits as they are rich in lycopene, a carotenoid with antioxidant properties, which is responsible for the deep red color of tomatoes. Food rich in lycopene will give antioxidant and is often associated with boosting our immune system by removing free radicals from our bodies thus decreasing the risk of stroke, lowering our bad cholesterol levels and preventing artery hardening.

Investors in the chain can actually tap into value addition in the form of processing the fruit into other products that are also equally beneficial in terms of health and wealth. Tomato value addition; 1) Tomato juice: I remember this product in my school days, it was always available especially during parties,but it gradually disappeared thanks to sugar flavored drinks. The juice is actually a healthy beverage with a good taste and aroma and a high vitamin content not forgetting the antioxidant effect on our cell. A high quality tomato juice contains 0.4 percent citric acid, 0.5 percent salt and 0.1 percent sugar. 2)Tomato ketchup : this is by far the most common form of processing,with various brands adding specific ingredients to make their products unique.Ketchup is commonly used with snacks and ready-to-eat foods,the chicken and chips delicacy is not complete without it. 3)Tomato paste: this is easy and most convenient for working mums, the tomatoes are cut up and processed into ready to use paste. There is another value addition with the tomato paste,it could actually be blended with pepper and some salt to produce a tomapep product. This is a handy ingredient for homes,eateries,school cafeterias and definitely a travel companion when camping out. 4)Tomato powder: tomatoes can also be dehydrated and grounded into fine powders that can be packaged in cans and sachets. 5)Tomatoes :can also be preserved and processed as dehydrated tomatoes. Tomatoes can be dehydrated and stored for further processing into powder or stored and used as dried tomato slices. Value addition to the tomato fruit cannot be fully explored as so many products can be derived from the tomato,what is required is the plan to cut the losses from site of production to market and then fresh produce to consumers. Investors in this value addition can actually site factories within the cluster of production,or better still farmers could even engage in this value addition by using dehydrators to save the excess tomatoes ,which will now be ready raw material for tomato processing plants.

The tomato story.

The tomato is a special produce amongsts other agricultural products because of its outstanding health benefits and its money spinning potential. Nigeria is rated the 14th largest producer of tomatoes but due to post harvest losses about 45% of what is produced is lost. This is the major reason for importation of tinned and puree tomatoes for our consumption,the recent wave of recession coupled with devaluation of naira has opened the door for better production of tomatoes and adequate handling,storage and transportation from farm to fork. Food security efforts has also boosted this drive to ensure that what we produce is available for consumption and the excess can be processed for export thus boosting forex reserves. Tomatoes are consumed worldwide with more countries depending on it than others for sustainable growth,but the common factor is that its a potential source of revenue. This is the story of a guy who went for an interview in a reputable organisation for the post of a cleaner,after preliminary questions and practical demonstration of how he will carry out his duties he was hired. While filling the necessary acceptance form details there was a spot for Email and he left it blank because he did not have an email account. The HR called his attention to the omission to which he replied he did not have an account and he lost the appointment. The HR explained that without an email account he does not exist and if he does not exist he cant be employed. He left devastated and with the last $10 to his name he decided to start selling TOMATOES,he started selling door-door and within 2 hours he double his capital.This he continued going about 3-5 rounds everyday,and surely his business boomed. He was so successful that he owned chains of Tomato stores, business was booming all was good and so he decided to plan for the future via investments and insurance policies. The rich TOMATO farmer invited the broker,who brought along necessary document for signing. The broker asked the man for his email address as he omitted it in the form;he replied he did not have one to the surprise of the broker. The broker then remarked that without an email account you are so successful, imagine what you would have become if you had one,to which the farmer replied a cleaner. The bottom-line is this TOMATOES SELLS ;EVERYBODY NEEDS IT. The mistake was depending only on oil( email) only forgetting agriculture,now the potential is exposed.

New AI Mental Health Tools Beat Human Doctors at Assessing Patients.

A New AI Mental Health Tools Beat Human Doctors at Assessing Patients. Mental health professionals have smarter tools than ever before, with artificial intelligence-related technology coming to the forefront to help diagnose patients, often with much greater accuracy than humans. A new study published in the journal Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, for example, showed that machine learning is up to 93 percent accurate in identifying a suicidal person. The research, led by John Pestian, a professor at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, involved 379 teenage patients from three area hospitals. Each patient completed standardized behavioral rating scales and participated in a semi-structured interview, answering five open-ended questions such as "Are you angry?" to stimulate conversation, according to a press release from the university. The researchers analyzed both verbal and non-verbal language from the data, then sent the information through a machine-learning algorithm that was able to determine with remarkable accuracy whether the person was suicidal, mentally ill but not suicidal, or neither. A study just published in the journal Psychological Bulletin further punctuated the need for better tools to help with suicide prevention. A meta-analysis of 365 studies conducted over the last 50 years found that the ability of mental health experts to predict if someone will attempt suicide is “no better than chance.”more
