Researchers Discover Cure For ‘Tomato Ebola’

The end to the ongoing scarcity of tomatoes is in sight as Nigerian researchers say they have found a pesticide capable of killing a species of moth that has ravaged the crop. The crop has been very scarce after Tomato Leaf Miner destroyed 80% of tomato farms in Kaduna state, in the northern part of the country. Other states, particularly in the north, have been badly hit too and farmers have lost millions of dollars. The price of a basket of tomatoes has soared from $1.20 (£0.80) three months ago to more than $40.
