  • Utilizing Modern Machinery in Cassava Farming to Boost Food Supply and Industrial Growth

Description

Cassava processing is notoriously labour-intensive, with peeling alone often accounting for up to 40% of the total labor cost! This is the gap that research and innovation must fill. The GRIC is excited to announce our next Industry Brief Session featuring Professor Emmanuel Bobobee (@KNUST) on “Utilising Modern Machinery in Cassava Farming to Boost Food Supply and Industrial Growth.” The shift to mechanised farming is essential for three reasons: 1) Boosting Food Supply (higher yields) 2) Attracting Youth (reducing drudgery), and 3) Industrial Growth (consistent supply for processing/export). Professor Bobobee will be showing how innovations like the TEK harvester are already deployed and delivering results across Africa. Discover how this technology is not only boosting yields but also transforming farming into a viable and attractive business.
