UTAP’s new African development paradigm, based in clustering agricultural and technology (Unified Technology & Agricultural Program (UTAP), and operated as a private non-profit, involving professional with core understanding and stake in the underlying communities is the most effective way forward for Africa as a whole. The UTAP’s paradigm will generate employment for the youth and farmers in the various communities that will be affected by the project. In the case of our ongoing efforts in Arigu, the long idle Tomato Factory located in Pwalugu may be dependent on the vast lands of Arigu to drive it growth.
The Pwalugu Tomato Factory, whose growth mass is dependent on the project target area can make meaningful progress towards a reduction in poverty levels in the Northern regions and nearby countries. Improving water collection and storage, evolving farming techniques and income-driven farming, the villagers, thanks to education, are mostly literate and poor will go a long way.
The Tomatoes Factory, built in the early 1960’s had seen its share of ineptness, both political and inexperience. UTAP bears synergies in the supply chain of improving a year round raw material s (tomatoes) and profitability to stakeholders of the factory.
