On the other hand, ‘Development of Process Plant for Plantain Flour’ is an important innovation for reducing the spoilage of farm products. It is also resourceful in scaling up from batch production to industrial-scale continuous flour production and it is relevant beyond plantain to other food items.

The guests at the event included the general manager of External Relations and Sustainable Development, Andy Odeh, in his remarks,  said the Prize’s focus on Food Security in 2022 was in alignment with Goal Two (2) of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which seeks sustainable solutions to end hunger by 2030 and to achieve food security.
