Despite a report by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) stating that 91.1% of the imported tomato paste is substandard, it was claimed that this was caused by the high rate at which imported banned tomato paste in retail packs had flooded the market for more than three years.
This was said by the company’s managing director, Mr. Nnamdi Umeofia, as he welcomed a group from the Army War College Course 6/2022 to Erisco Foods for an environmental study tour.

The MD commented just as Chief Eric Umeofia, President/CEO of the Erisco Bonpet Group, said that the government would not have needed to spend as much money fighting insurgency if Nigeria had been performing well in the field of industrialization.
The MD said, “We have stocks of goods worth over N4bn for about nine months, which we have been finding very difficult to sell due to the high production cost and the flooding of our markets with imported substandard tomato paste by the import cabals with support of our FOREX.”
