Descripción
As part of the SIDS Solutions Forum, 30-31 August 2021, FAO collected innovations and creative digital technologies that respond to local problems and challenges.
Post-harvest losses, which may average 20-30 percent for some commodities, are considerable because of the lack of food processing units and lack of market for C grade agriculture commodities.
This flyer presents describes processing centres that process chips from cassava, vudi (plantain) and kumala (sweet potato) and supply them to supermarkets and service stations. The food processing unit also serves as a training facility for teenaged girls, where they learn various cooking/food processing techniques, various handicrafts and other income-generating skills.
