Project Overview

This project involved the supply of 2,500 improved mango and orange seedlings to farmers in Uyui District, Tabora Region, with the objective of promoting fruit farming, improving household nutrition, and increasing long-term farmer income through orchard establishment.

The project was implemented under Hort Germinate Farm (HGM) Phase, an enterprise specialized in high-quality fruit seedling production and horticultural support services. HGM served as the operational foundation that later inspired the formation of AgriScape Innovation Company Limited (ASI Co. Ltd), whose business concept was conceived in late 2025 as a way to expand and formalize horticultural and agricultural service delivery.

This initiative focused on improving access to quality planting materials for smallholder farmers, particularly in areas with high potential for fruit production but limited access to certified seedlings.

Impacts and Achievements

The project successfully supplied 2,500 healthy mango and orange seedlings to smallholder farmers in Uyui District, supporting the establishment of new fruit orchards and improving access to quality planting materials. It contributed to the strengthening of horticultural production within the district while also enhancing farmers’ capacity to engage in sustainable fruit cultivation. The initiative helped build trust and a strong reputation for effective horticultural service delivery, encouraging greater community participation in similar agricultural programs. In addition, it promoted diversification of farm enterprises through fruit farming, increased awareness of improved orchard management practices, and strengthened community interest in commercial fruit production as a viable livelihood option
