Entrepreneurship Africa reports on a Ghana based initiative:
...through the Root and Tuber Improvement and Marketing Programme (RTIMP) of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA), women’s groups in the local communities have new opportunities to increase family incomes. Hitherto they were engaged in the production and selling of soymilk and soybean ice cream.More here
They are now in the business of producing yogurt from sweet potato and helping to train others in the production. The ‘Potaghurt’, is healthy and nutritious.
RTIM identified, supported and trained women’s groups in the business of producing value-added potato products.
“After the training on potaghurt production, we realized that the products that they trained us on were good so we asked for some of the things that we may need to produce the Potaghurt”, said Madam Doris, who belongs to the Wedada group in the Kasena Nankana West District of the Upper East region.
