Successful tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) production depends on availability of improved cultivars that can withstand biotic and abiotic pressures inflicted by the environment. This paper explores the challenges in tomato breeding and identifies opportunities that can be explored to improve tomato breeding initiatives in Africa. The review focuses on primary sources of information and notes that few existing tomato breeding institutions in Africa can drive a vibrant tomato industry and its downstream enterprises. This is coupled with inadequate breeding policies regarding varietal release and protection, negative effects of climate change, emergence of pests and diseases that impact negatively on tomato production efforts in Africa.
