@jcniyomugabo Lucrative market for sun dried tomato - value addition should provide part of the answers to this problem

@jcniyomugabo But how is this possible?? Tomatoes are “expensive” in Uganda!

@jcniyomugabo This is a very sorrowful circumstance to face such loss after all efforts been spent. We (Africans) need to create a sustainable food system, it is sad that there are other African areas where tomatoes are scarcing and facing a great price inflation on them while these lost.

@jcniyomugabo These farmers failed to think outside the box they could have dried the tomatoes and made tomato powder which has a long shelf life

@jcniyomugabo #Kenya ,ns are still buying and eating tomatoes 🍅. It's the #farmers business to take their tomato to the market. The market does not come to the #farm . The problem is in most farmers head. Farmers must normalize adding shelve life and value to their produce on their farms.🍅🍹

@jcniyomugabo @AgronomistF1 This is supper sad

@jcniyomugabo What about drying up those tomatoes?? That's another business.

@jcniyomugabo They could have cut and dried it. Preserve it till rainy season.

@jcniyomugabo This is definitely unfortunate

@jcniyomugabo @BenjaminCheboi @Baringo_county Build a tomato factory

@jcniyomugabo Solutions are available, it's a matter of connecting the rights actors.

@jcniyomugabo Value addition and processing should an investment worth considering as African farmers...thats a huge loss unfortunatel

@jcniyomugabo Is this right?

@jcniyomugabo We're selling our Processing plant that can add value to their tomatoes at only $ 20,000 FOB (Ex-works). Ask them to DM me.

@jcniyomugabo Few Days back I was watching a YouTube video about how Chinese companies are capturing Tomato Sause n Pury markets in Africa & helping their own farmers... So why African Govts / businessmen / farmer cooperatives not doing the same for their own farmers !!

@jcniyomugabo Drying tomatoes and grinding them into powder, turning tomatoes into tomatoe paste, source plus canning preserves tomatoes they can be sold in those forms.

@jcniyomugabo @KenethMatope

@jcniyomugabo Aint it funny how we, African leaders have created good business erena for Foreigners and protecting our market for their benefits yet allowing our fellow Africans products to rot? No no, What did we liberated our Countries for then ? Just to be spectators of what is happening?

@jcniyomugabo With the right information, this could've been exported.

@jcniyomugabo Lack of communication, these farmers should be in touch with the tomato 🍅 traders association in all local and regional markets.
