The youth groups involved in the project grew approximately 1,050 passion fruit seedlings.

Despite their efforts to sell these seedlings in open markets, only a few were sold.

To address this, the project organized new farmers to purchase 715 seedlings, and the remaining seedlings were shared among the youth to plant at their home sites.

As a parallel initiative, older group members grew passion fruit seedlings themselves in April 2024 and outplanted them in May 2024. The project supplied seeds, which were sourced from ripe fruits in local markets in Moshi and Arusha, seed sown in the germination bed and transplanted seedlings to the polythene tubes.

Each farmer successfully raised about 10 to 30 seedlings. Passion fruit plants were planted under large trees or in rows with 5m spacing, using poles and ropes for climbing support. By the end of 2024, farmers who planted the passion fruit seedlings in May saw them begin to bear fruit, marking a positive outcome for this initiative.

Farmers sowed approximately one bucket (10 liters) of guava seeds, which were sourced from Arusha. The seeds were soaked for three weeks, sown in raised beds, and the resulting seedlings were transplanted into polythene tubes. Each farmer successfully grew about five seedlings (except for the Kisangara and Kwanyange groups). A total of 1,500 seedlings were planted between August and November 2024 during the short rain season providing optimal conditions for establishment and growth. The majority of farmers outplanted 2 to 4 guava seedlings.
