A post on the United Purpose website, detailing how their project is training farmers to upscale the value of the potatoes and other vegetables they produce by processing them in different ways.
We are empowering smallholder farmers in Mozambique to improve their food security, nutrition, income and livelihoods. As part of this, we are working with a regional initiative that aims to increase the productivity, profitability and sustainability of potato value chains, with a special focus on women and vulnerable groups.
In conjunction with the governmental district health centre’s nutrition department and the Farmers Association, our project is training farmers to upscale the value of the potatoes and other vegetables they produce by processing them in different ways. The delicious array of products includes juice, chips and cake from orange-fleshed sweet potato, as well as beets salad and juice, rice cakes and juice, and cabbage juice and salad.
