Under the collaboration, tomatoes are cultivated using climate-smart agricultural practices and innovations, a hallmark of the FSRP approach. Tomato farmers in crisis as their produce rot for lack of buyersFarmMate complements this with close field monitoring, resident agronomists and guaranteed offtake of harvested produce. Beyond FarmMate, the wider FSRP Tomato Support Programme is being implemented in 20 districts across six regions, involving 1,500 farmers, 40 percent of whom are women. Current yields average about 10 tonnes per hectare, with projections of up to 15 tonnes per hectare by the end of the 2025 dry season. Overall, FSRP targets the production of 6,000 metric tonnes of tomatoes by the end of the intervention.
