Multistage sampling technique was employed.  The study made use of primary data. This means that the data were collected directly from the respondents of the study. The information required from the respondents were gathered via the use of questionnaire and interview schedule. The data used for this study were collected by the researcher. The data for thestudy were analysed using descriptive statistics. Descriptive statistics such as percentages, means and standard deviations were used to analyze data collected. The major findings showed that most tomatoes sellers’ monthly income from tomatoes sales is within N5,000 to N10,000,  average quantity from tomato’s selling is within 36 – 42, they are involved in the buying of tomato, involved in sorting and grading of tomatoes, are involved in loading of tomatoes, are involved in transportation of tomatoes, are involved in washing of tomatoes, are involved drying of tomato, are involved in assembling of tomatoes, are involved in packaging of tomatoes, involved in par-boiling of tomato.
