| Description: |
Operating the cassava wet pressing machine at the Obiogba Cassava Processing Facility. The machine's mechanism effectively extracts the liquid from the cassava, separating the starch from the fibrous material. It's crucial to monitor the process to ensure optimal pressure and efficiency. Once pressed, the resulting liquid is collected and processed further to extract starch or produce other cassava-based products. The facility is operated by incubatees who work on a voluntary, rotational basis one day per month under the supervision of an incubator as a part of the LIFE-ND training on cassava processing. LIFE-ND aims to address the growing numbers of restive youth and lack of income-generating activities for women by developing their skills and sustainably enhancing incomes and food security, creating jobs for 25,500 rural young people and women (incubates) in the Niger Delta in southern Nigeria. In particular, LIFE-ND is changing mindsets by helping youth realize agriculture as a good business opportunity. The project will strengthen the capacity of government institutions to work with up to 600 established private-sector actors (incubators). |
