Return Customers

We came across this tweet earlier today about one of our champion customers, Pastory. Pastory bought one of our threshers earlier this year in March and has been using it as a business. He loved it so much that he bought 1 more MCT in August, and now has placed an order for 3 additional MCTs from Imara Tech to expand his agribusiness and build his #ThreshingEmpire!

Thanks to partner organizations such as Pan Africa Bean Research Alliance (PABRA) and Global Affairs Canada (GAC) for supporting farmers like Pastory with financing to expand their agribusinesses!

Pastory is a youth champion, passionate agribusiness owner, & successful seed producer. Based in Kagera, Tanzania, he sells quality bean seed & provides services with his multi-crop thresher to smallholder farmers, improving their incomes.  #ImaraTech @_PABRA @BiovIntCIAT_Eng pic.twitter.com/R3zMp2UdXH

By the way, we got an Imara Tech twitter!

Carrying the MCT on a Bicycle

Normally our customers carry the MCT around on a motorcycle, which seems impressive but actually is not so much after considering that motorcycles are also used for carrying around couches, refrigerators, entire families, and numerous other heavy and bulky loads.

So I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by this, but I am! The MCT fits on the back of a bicycle!

Spotted: Customers!

Today when I was heading up to town I met with one of our customers, an entrepreneur at Moshono. He was riding heading to thresh maize to his customer so I dropped out of the truck to take a selfie with him😄

Really cool when we spontaneously see our customers and products moving around! The stickers on the machine advertise this customer’s business as he rides around to sell threshing services.
