Objective
CASSAVA-SMEs will develop an integrated package of tools, approaches and technologies to enable rural cassava producers and processors/SMEs to produce improved versions of traditional products for which there is proven expanding urban demand. The project takes an interdisciplinary approach so that technologies can be developed that take into account the needs of current processors who depend on the crop and its processed products for their livelihoods. Specific attention will be paid to undertaking the research on a processing/commodity chain basis to ensure the sustainability of recommended approaches. Best practice guidance for SMEs producing the selected products will be established. Food safety and product quality will be optimised through approaches that can be applied at the SME level.
