The Problem Wheat has the lowest production figures of all of the staple foods covered in Malawi. Up until recently, production has remained below 2,000 MT per year from around 2,000 hectares of land. This represents 0.1% of all the area grown with cereals in the country and 0.1% of all the cereal production. Currently only around 3% of wheat is sourced domestically and around 97% is imported, mainly from Non-COMESA/EAC countries. Malawi imports over 400,000 tons of American red winter wheat annually. This situation has placed a huge burden on the Malawian economy. Another challenge that has been associated with the continuous use of wheat in bread making is the development of celiac disease. Thus, an alternative source of flour that can be used to produce bread that is similar to or better than bread produced with wheat flour is a welcomed development. Cassava is one of the many crops that farmers in Nkhatabay, Salima and Nkhotakota produce. Farmers sell the cassava in raw form to small scale traders and millers who in turn sell to end consumers and/or produce makaka, starch and High Quality Cassava Flour. High quality cassava flour is normally used for baking of bread and confectioneries. Corn starch is the commonly utilized excipient in the manufacturing of tablets and glue in Malawi. The starches are imported from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates, China, India, Kenya and the United Kingdom. Increased costs, supply capacity, availability and late deliveries are some of the major challenges the industries are facing due to starch importation. The Solution The ever increasing worldwide cost of wheat flour used in the baking and confectionery industries has necessitated the search for alternative cheaper flour from the locally available crops. Cassava is one of such crops that have been identified because its flour has great potential to be utilized as a partial substitution of wheat flour. High Quality Cassava Flour {HQCF} is made by cooking, drying and grinding cassava root to a fine powder. The HQCF is used as substitute for wheat flour in bakery and confectionary products. HQCF is also used in the paper board and plywood industries. There is need for improvements in cassava processing methods, especially post harvesting techniques, to lower production costs. Given fresh cassava’s bulky, perishable nature it is not economically viable to transport it over long distances. Small scale farmers tend to dry cassava in the sun. This processing technique is not ideal as cassava can become contaminated, which would make it unfit for human consumption. Small scale farmers cannot afford to purchase a flash dryer and in addition, this technology is fuel powered which pushes its operational cost above most farmers’ means. North East Foods Limited is planning to set up its modern processing facility in Nkhotakota. This factory setting will eliminate over 80% of transportation cost, reduce 60% post-harvest losses and provide a direct linkage between our company and producers.Read Less
