CASSAVA ADDING VALUE & VARIOUS DERIVATIVES FROM CASSAVA

Cassava is a root vegetable widely consumed in developing countries. It provides some important nutrients and resistant starch, which may have health benefits. I was marvel to see various derivatives from Cassava at one Agripreneur Conference in Owerri, Imo State recently where International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) participated. I will be happy to see various State government that are talking of empowering both the youths, fresh but unemployed graduates, single parents, retirees, etc to partner with IITA to organize a short training programme that will be beneficial to all at a minimal cost.

The management of FoodpreneurNews was officially invited as the media partner to cover the AGRICON’20. And we are glad to note that the Publisher of the magazine, Mr. Rasaq Oke was the compere at the grand occasion that has in attendance the Director-General of Nigerian Quarantine Service and the Regional Manager of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council and the Deputy Controller of the Nigerian Custom Service in attendance
