Statement of the problem
Tomatoes production in Buea- Mile 16 is getting unstable since the Anglophone crises is caused distraction to local and national government about marketing system and food crop production in Buea.
Tomatoes is not only a stable vegetable food in Cameroon, but it is also considered an Economic safety net as much of it is often exported and consumed in different parts of Cameroon Value adding base on the production due to the nature of tomatoes which are not resistance in terms of longitivity Challenged by inefficient production and storage technology, price uncertainty, risk aversion or urgent need for cash among others.
As a consequence, some farmers wanting to
avoid potential shocks might opt for early sales at very low prices. This
eventually undermines their incomes and financial security as they often end up
purchasing vegetable during the rainy period at higher rates. Others might
decide to hold large stock until the following planting period and would often
be compelled to sell seeds of a poorer quality at very low prices due to pest
attack and weakly nature of seed. This equally leads to low returns and low
profitability to the farmer caring out tomatoes farming. According to this
situation aggravates the already challenging low vegetable availability, low
agricultural incomes and limited market opportunities for small scale
farmers who are yet net deficit grain producers. Ideally, tomatoes would be stored in sufficient quantities to cover the food and financial needs of a farm household between harvest and lean periods, but the diversity of
risks a small-scale farmer is compelled to manage could greatly influence
storage decisions and practices
