Millennium Fellowship Project: Tompa
Tompa was birthed from the challenges facing the agricultural sector in Nigeria especially Tomato farming.
Farmers of tomatoes especially those in the northern part of Nigeria where it is mostly cultivated have nothing to show up after harvest. Poverty is worn as mask in this part of the country.
Tomatoes a perishable goods has a very short life span. They spent huge hours on our road and before it reaches the market it gets spoilt or it's market value reduces.
To savage this enormous challenges. My team and I, decided and brainstorm on solution to this and came up with Tompa.
Tompa seeks to address this issue by dehydrating this tomatoes, grinding them into powder form, preserving them and packaging to ensure all year round availability.
