Pepper Transformers

The Farmers Voice profiles pepper processors and their products,interviewing Taka Gladys Ngwe, an entrepreneur:

How many kinds of products do you produce?
I process four brands of pepper, and the products are; first the liquid pepper already in the market, the pepper cube, pepper paste which I call it spice-up because I do it with a combination of spices and olive oil. This is very delicious. We are still studying the shelf live but I think in a very short while one will come out. Then, the shredded pepper made mostly for those in the Diaspora who want to taste the pepper fresh. We conserve it, it stays fresh and its aroma is intact. So we package it, label it and send it to those in the Diaspora. We have constraints of packaging.
How much pepper can you transform?
If I had the resources, there wouldn’t be any limit to what I cab produce It will be a great relief to farmers who farm but end up discouraged because of waste. If I had the resources, I ‘d recruit a lot of workers, buy machinery. I need the pepper cube machine, the pepper processing-extraction machine and a homogenizer cost about 25mFcfa. Processing locally will still cost me a lot. The machines will make it a whole pepper company that will create employment for many in the rural areas.
