Rice tumbling from a milling machine at the thriving Tuduu Wada Rice Processors Women’s Cooperative in Kontagora, Niger State. Milling is the process of removing the impurities from rice by removing husk and bran layers. In November of 2017, the VCDP provided the women with mechanized processing equipment. The cooperative is helping to meet Nigeria’s growing appetite for nice by providing quality, nutritious parboiled white rice. Business is so good that the women are using profits to expand their facility with additional milling houses and milling machines, proving that the project is already sustainable.
