How
We Made It
Tomna realized early that Egypt, being one of the top producers of garlic worldwide, and with its resources in terms of primary location, perfect soil, balanced weather, water availability, and other environmental factors, put it up to be one of the world’s main export hubs; at the time, there was evident underdevelopment in the industry of garlic agricultural exportation, in Egypt specifically. Tomna is a joined stock company, with local partners who have professional expertise in various aspects of the industry, and continues to prosper over the years due to our professional teams’ combined industry experiences used for the benefit of our processes and techniques. Tomna has successfully initiated and maintained sustainable collaborations with 12 countries exporting our year-round fresh produce to them.
Tomna and its local partners are passionate about providing our customers with the finest garlic whenever it is needed. We go above and beyond to ensure a year-round supply of garlic and worldwide delivery. We made it our mission to provide the world with the flavor of our garlic year-round, with a passion for quality and consistency that guides all that we do.
Tomna chose Chile as it offers us a geographic competitive advantage due to its opposite harvesting seasons than Egypt, thus, providing our customers with year-round garlic produce availability abiding by our main mission.
Tomna does not only provide customers with exceptionally fresh and frozen produce delivered right to them, but we also offer customers a sustainable relationship with commitment, innovation, consistency, balance, and integrity.
Corporate Social
Responsibility
Education
When Tomna was initiated, Tomna’s owners worked hand in hand with our on-ground team in fields and packhouses at Al Minya, Southern (Upper) Egypt. Upper Egypt has several underdeveloped areas, this was a whole new experience for Tomna’s owners and local partners, in terms of understanding culture and tradition. Tomna’s owners and local partners collectively decided they wanted to take responsibility for the community and pledged to give back to the community that makes us who we are. A percentage of all Tomna’s profits go directly to schools around our fields and packhouses in Upper Egypt and are dedicated to aiding in providing educational resources needed at the schools in hopes of a better future for the children.
For Tomna, a successful business is a sustainable one. We aim for our products to not only serve our customer’s needs but to correspond directly to a better and more sustainable community around us and a general contribution to a better world. As we study Mother Earth further throughout our production process and understand the importance of what we have, we increase our focus on sustainable decision-making throughout our processes for the community and the environment.
Environment
Tomna believes in its product contribution to the benefits of human health and does not disregard the impact of production on our environment. Tomna holds strong beliefs in terms of environmental sustainability and acknowledges the responsibility we have as producers in minimizing the environmental impact of production, this is why we dedicate our team’s efforts to the development of methods that would decrease the environmental impact of production. In regards to minimizing environmental impact, Tomna focuses its efforts on saving water, a decrease of food waste, and minimal chemical usage in processes. We use drip irrigation systems during our processes to decrease the possibility of any water loss, and save as much water as possible. At Tomna, we strive to limit food waste along different steps of our process chain, we do this by elaborating quality control regulations that maintain the food waste level to a minimum and also through the usage of products that could be wasted as a byproduct. We have also tailored our methods to minimal use of pesticides, decreasing the chemical usage within our processes to almost none.
At Tomna we constantly optimize our advanced methods and techniques in planting, harvesting, and post-harvesting to ensure quality crop yield.
