The project aims to contribute to the improvement of the quality and safety of food products made from baobab in Malawi, Kenya and Sudan, as well as to improved local processing technologies and increased resource efficiency in the production process. The project will develop a method for on-site quality assessment of baobab products, develop and help implement technological measures for retaining baobab quality along the production process, study the scope for a stronger involvement of producer associations in value chains, and investigate innovation, new product development and formalization in the baobab processing sector. The project aims to generate and co-create knowledge and locally adapted technologies and solutions with stakeholders from the academic and baobab processing sectors in the study region, thereby contributing to building and developing local capacity in the African partner institutions and the baobab processing sector at large.
