This report describes the capacity building process and activities that were done to enhance the business and entrepreneurial skills of packhouse operators.
Particle characteristics are crucial knowledge to improve the process chain of cassava flour. Wet and dry grits, as the intermediate products, were investigated in this study. With respect to particle size, wet grits were predominately (66.7%) obtained between mesh size 0.50 and 1.00 mm, while dr...
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is the most important staple food in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the shelf-life of the crop is short and, for this reason, the roots are usually processed into more stable products like cassava flour by village-based enterprises. Most of these enterprises use small-sc...
Custard powder and salad cream are two food products commercially manufactured using different quantities of corn starch. This study aimed at determining the physicochemical properties of some starches extracted from some white and yellow root cassava varieties. The prospective applicability of t...
The purpose of this study is to screen cassava varieties for their level of tolerance or susceptibility to Postharvest Physiological Deterioration (PPD). Specifically, it aims at collecting varieties of fresh cassava roots preferred by consumers in Ugandan. The study targets the two major fresh c...
The historical view of cassava as “a poor man crop” in Africa has long limited efforts to fully exploit its commercial potential as raw material in the production of food, feed and industrial products. This situation is now changing, led by special projects which promote cassava-based agric busin...
Cassava plays important roles. It is a famine reserve crop, a staple food for the rural populace and a cash crop for urban consumption. It is a source of industrial raw materials and earns foreign exchange. Unfortunately, the past decades witnessed too much emphasis on the production components o...
The study investigates the impact of adopting mechanized processing of cassava on farmers’ production efficiency in Uganda. A stochastic production function, using translog functional form, was used to compare efficiency measures of farmers in mechanized cassava-processing villages compared with ...
Labour productivity affects food security, but quantifying this relationship has been scarce with respect to empirical literature. The Central Madagascar dataset explores the influence of labour productivity and related variables on the food security status of cassava farmers. Drawing on both the...
