Rwanda cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasroforme) is one of the closest relatives of the garden tomato with beautiful red fruits. It is the product of interbreeding the wild and garden tomatoes. Its main characteristics include a distinctive red or yellow hue on a rounded, oval fruit. This thumb-sized fruit grows on a climbing vine and is an attractive sight at its most ripened stage.

The cherry tomato is native to Mexico. It thrived here during the height of the Aztec civilization in the 15th century. The primary use of the crop in most parts of the world including Rwanda is to make salads. It also serves as a side dish for meat and rice.

We source Rwanda cherry tomatoes from Rwamagana, Kayonza, and Rusizi in the Eastern and Southern provinces. These crops grow next to garden tomatoes in our family growers’ farms that measure less than 2 acres. Our farming partners maintain them with farmyard manure as a soil enrichment. They also do away with chemical sprays to reduce contamination.

We harvest Rwanda cherry tomatoes when they have been on the farm for less than 55 days. We go for plants that have thumb-sized or larger berries and have yellowed partially over their green. The red color usually occurs during the post-harvest stage. We use garden scissors to cut the mature berries at the base and retain a piece of the stalk for handling purposes. We deliver the fruits to the packing shed immediately for preparation before packing.

During the preparation phase of the Rwanda cherry tomato harvest, we select only well-rounded, firm fruits. We, first of all, clean them in purified water and then sort them by their healthy appearance. The largest, firmest, uniform-colored and blemish-free fruits go into the first grade.

We pack the graded Rwanda cherry tomatoes in volume-filled, single-layer 12-pint flat boxes.  Each wooden or plastic crate comes with polyethylene interior linings for hydrating the produce during transit. We also include produce labels that indicate the name, country of origin and the final destination.

We pack Rwanda cherry tomatoes at the temperature of between 12 and 15 degrees Celsius. This is enough temperature to give the produce a shelf life of 2 weeks. We maintain the relative humidity at 90%.  We also keep the cold room well-ventilated to preserve the rich color of the fruit.
