A Tricomp International Project Revolutionizing Agriculture
- Technology with Passion
Driving Impact and Innovation
About the Project
Empowering Rwanda's Agricultural Future
Strategically located in Kawangire Cell, Rukara Sector of Kayonza District in Rwanda’s Eastern Province, Diana’s Farm benefits from its close proximity to Lake Muhazi, ensuring reliable year-round irrigation. In alignment with Rwanda’s Crop Intensification Programme (CIP) and the national “food basket sites” initiative, the farm is spearheading the commercial production and export of high-quality horticultural crops. It currently cultivates fine French beans on 3.5 hectares, with plans to expand to 10 hectares within the next two years.
In its expansion plans, post-harvest sheds, cold storage pack-house facilities. and a farmer training school are envisaged.
The school, once accredited will provide certified professional training in smart, tech-driven eco-farming methods.
It is expected that the effective implementation of this project will significantly contribute to the modernization of agriculture in Rwanda, increased productivity, innovation, job creation and ultimately higher incomes.
We aim to enhance standards and professionalism in the area of agribusiness, drive exports and debunk the myth that agriculture is not a viable business option.
About the Project
Smart Farming Innovations
Diana’s Farm is expanding its irrigated land from 1 hectare to the full 3.5 hectares, utilizing solar-powered irrigation systems and smart technology. Key initiatives include:
- Solar-Powered Infrastructure: A cutting-edge solar irrigation system and cold storage pack-house facility to preserve produce quality and reduce post-harvest losses.
- Post-Harvest Sheds: Modern sheds to protect harvests from adverse weather, ensuring consistency in supply.
- Farmer Training School: A soon-to-be-accredited school offering certified training in smart, tech-driven eco-farming methods, targeting youth to foster the next generation of agripreneurs.
About the Project
Driving Economic and Environmental Impact
Diana’s Farm is transforming Rwanda’s agricultural sector by:
- Enhancing Productivity: Targeting yields of 6,000–8,000 kg per acre per harvest through optimal practices, such as staggered planting and organic inputs.
- Creating Opportunities: Employing 5 permanent staff and 100 casual laborers, with a focus on youth and women, to stimulate local employment.
- Boosting Exports: Supplying high-quality French beans to local markets like Kigali and regional markets in Eastern DRC and Burundi, with plans to directly enter the global export value chain.
- Promoting Sustainability: Planting indigenous trees, Hass avocados, and mangoes to create a micro-ecosystem, reduce CO2 emissions, and protect soil, while pursuing eco-certification as a climate-aware agricultural hub.
