Samenvatting

The horticultural farming development cannot be achieved without the involvement of various shareholders including the training and research institutions. The absence of collaboration between tomato farmers and TVET higher learning institution weakens farmer’s development and does not disclose the capabilities of the college. The purpose of this study is to identify potential value addition activities to tomato crop farm-leftovers and investigate their existing end-uses to suggest a collaboration model between tomato farmers in Nkotsi Sector and IPRC Musanze to tailor-make solutions to tomato farming challenges and associated issues.
