VISIT TO NDUME LIMITED

Ndume is well known and respected throughout the region as the only true agricultural machinery manufacturer in East Africa. Biosystems Engineering students visited the plant on industrial visit.  The productivity of farms depends greatly on the availability and judicious use of farm power by the farmers. Agricultural implements and machines enable the farmers to employ the power judiciously for production purposes. Agricultural machines increase productivity of land and labour by meeting timeliness of farm operations and increase work out-put per unit time. Besides its paramount contribution to the multiple cropping and diversification of agriculture, mechanization also enables efficient utilization of inputs such as seeds, fertilizers and irrigation water.

Students were taken through manufacturing process from material selection, Design, machining of parts, fabrication and assembling of final product ready for immediate use. Below are some of farm implements manufactured by Ndume Limited which students were honoured to see some at production level and at final products.
