Goal: Support local farmers and enhance tomato production.

Claim: Providing farmers with opportunities and alternative income sources.

Summary: The Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology (IAST) has ceased the production of sun-dried tomato ketchup, transferring the project to the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI), which will implement new agricultural plans. This decision follows a decrease in market demand for sun-dried ketchup. Farmers in Region Eight had previously benefited from the project since its inception in 2018, despite facing challenges from droughts and floods. NAREI will ensure these farmers are not left without income as they explore alternative agricultural initiatives.
