The TICD (formerly known as the Community Development Training Institute; CDTI-Tengeru) was legally established in the year 1963 and in 2013 became the Tengeru Institute of Community Development (TICD) under the Tengeru Institute of Community Development Establishment Order of 2013.

The 2013 establishment order granted the TICD an autonomous status.

The institute has attractive surroundings together with relatively cool weather for the greater part of the year, an environment that is highly conducive for learning activities. For about 62 years the institute has been a fountain of knowledge and skills to thousands of community development professionals supporting community efforts towards national development.

The institute, whose parent ministry is the Ministry of Community Development, Gender, Women, and Special Groups, is fully accredited by the National Council for Technical and Vocational Education (NACTEV) and offers technical education and training, and it is one of the prominent institutions in East Africa offering technical education in community development and related specializations, research, outreach, and consultancy services.

  1. I think you meant “how to transform an onion farm into a factory” or how to start an onion processing factory. I’ll explain it in a practical way.

    How to transform onions production into a factory (onion processing business)

    Instead of only selling raw onions, a factory adds value by processing them into products like:

    Onion powder
    Onion flakes
    Fried onions
    Onion paste
    Pickled onions

    This is called value addition.

    1. Secure steady onion supply

    A factory needs large and reliable raw materials:

    Partner with local onion farmers or cooperatives
    Or run your own large-scale onion farm
    Ensure year-round supply (storage or multiple regions)
    2. Choose your products

    Decide what your factory will produce:

    Basic processing: cleaning, sorting, packaging fresh onions
    Advanced processing: drying, powdering, frying, or canning

    Start small (like dried onions or powder) before expanding.

    3. Set up processing facilities

    You will need:

    Washing and peeling machines
    Slicing and drying machines
    Grinding machine (for powder)
    Packaging machines
    Clean storage warehouse

    Also ensure:

    Electricity and water supply
    Hygienic food-grade environment
    4. Get licenses and standards approval

    Depending on your country:

    Food safety authority approval
    Business registration
    Quality certifications (for selling in supermarkets/export)
    5. Hire skilled workers

    You may need:

    Food technologists
    Machine operators
    Quality control staff
    Marketing and sales team
    6. Branding and packaging

    This is very important:

    Create a brand name
    Design attractive packaging
    Label nutritional and expiry information
    7. Market your products

    Sell to:

    Supermarkets
    Hotels and restaurants
    Export markets
    Local shops and wholesalers
    8. Start small, then expand

    A common mistake is starting too big. Instead:

    Begin with one product (like onion powder)
    Reinvest profits to expand into more products
    Simple idea summary

    You are basically turning:

    “raw onions from farms” → “packaged, ready-to-use food products sold in stores”

    If you want, I can also show:

    Cost estimate for starting an onion factory in Tanzania
    Machines needed and prices
    Or a simple business plan template
