RESOLUTION PROJECT

TomatoDry

BIO

TomatoDry is a social enterprise based in Benin that aims to combat post-harvest losses and food waste by transforming fresh tomatoes into high-quality dehydrated tomato powder. Through an innovative and sustainable dehydration process, TomatoDry extends the shelf life of tomatoes while preserving their nutritional value, providing farmers with a reliable market for their produce and consumers with an affordable, long-lasting food product.

Between June and December 2024, TomatoDry successfully implemented its first phase with an initial budget of $3,500, ultimately spending $3,221 after strategic adjustments in some expense categories. These optimizations ensured better resource allocation while maintaining operational efficiency. With the second phase of funding, TomatoDry aims to enhance product quality, expand market reach, and obtain regulatory approvals, such as the ABSSA market authorization, to scale its impact across Benin and beyond.
