LEGIT.NG reports that a Capital Market Professor at Nasarawa State University Keffi, Uche Uwaleke, said that the ongoing cash scarcity and low demand have led to a situation where traders dealing in perishable goods are compelled to sell their products below the cost of production or purchase price, as they lack proper storage facilities, Businessday reports.
