"The Center’s key goals are to design and promote agricultural technologies; offer training services to farmers, public sector and private sectors; and collaborate with related stakeholders. As a result, motorized drawn cart, feed chopper, maize sheller, hand planters, scrappers, sub soilers and rippers have been fabricated and promoted. Our well established Agro processing unit has been busy with processing sunflower, cassava, groundnuts, vegetable products, soya milk, honey, maize, banana and rice." Tom Agwa
