We have proved cassava works on the dry coast: 1,825 farmers on more than 3,500 acres, a dryer in Kaloleni, chips and briquettes in production. To reach 10,000 farmers by 2030 we need partners for:
- A cassava flour machine
- Cuttings, training and visits for new farmers
- More drying and storage capacity
- Collecting and processing so farmers own more of the value chain
- Regenerative farming that keeps the soil healthy
