Idea

JLC Industry Of Tomato Paste Sarl U is a Togolese agro-industrial startup dedicated to the production, processing, and commercialization of tomato concentrate. Recognizing the importance of tomatoes as a nutritious and widely consumed vegetable rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, the company aims to leverage the country’s agricultural potential to address the high post-harvest losses experienced by local tomato producers, which currently exceed 40% of production. The idea centers on creating a sustainable and profitable tomato value chain that benefits both producers and consumers while contributing to the growth of the local agro-industry.

Challenge

JLC Industry Of Tomato Paste Sarl U tackles several key challenges in Togo’s tomato sector. First, the high perishability of tomatoes leads to massive post-harvest losses, forcing producers to sell at very low prices or discard their crops. Second, local consumers face limited access to processed tomato products, often relying on imports. Third, small-scale farmers often lack technical knowledge, resources, and guaranteed market access. By organizing producers, providing technical support, and establishing a reliable processing and distribution system, the company reduces losses, enhances income for farmers, and improves local food security and availability of quality tomato products.

Solution

JLC Industry Of Tomato Paste Sarl U transforms fresh, locally sourced tomatoes into high-quality tomato concentrate, packaged in glass jars and flexible pouches. The company establishes partnerships with local producers through contractual agreements to guarantee the supply of tomatoes and provide necessary production inputs. By installing a modern processing facility in Davié with complete production equipment, JLC INDUSTRY ensures consistent quality, reduces post-harvest losses, and makes processed tomato products readily available and affordable to consumers across Togo. The project also creates direct and indirect employment opportunities, strengthening the regional economy.
