#一国一品走近非洲 #

More than half of the African continent is hot all year round, high temperature and little rain, dry climate, many countries still take agricultural development as an important economic pillar, and food crops have the characteristics of drought tolerance, barrenness, high yield and strong adaptability.

Cassava likes heat and drought, short maturity, is an important staple food of people in sub-Saharan Africa, cassava in Africa planting area, production scale is huge, while Africa is also an important main production area of cassava in the world, the global cassava root annual output of about 230 million tons, half of which is produced from the African continent.

Nigeria is the largest producer of cassava in Africa, with an area of about 4.1 million hectares under cultivation and an annual production of 38 million tonnes. Other African countries such as Congo, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Benin and other African countries are also the main countries for cassava cultivation in Africa, with an average annual output of more than 2 million tons.

Cassava is widely used, 65% of the world's total production of cassava is used for food, and after deep processing, it is mainly used for food, feeding and industrial processing:

1. The starch content of cassava root is high, which is one of the main raw materials for production and processing in the food industry, and can process starch and whole powder; Tapioca starch can be used to make maltose, monosodium glutamate, beer, bread, vermicelli, sauces, canned foods, frozen foods, dry mixes, baked goods condiments, sausages, milk, meat, fish products, etc.

2. Rough processed tapioca flour can replace the cereal ingredients, and is formulated with soybean coarse flour to form feed, which is a nutritious and high-energy feed ingredient.

3. In the industrial field, tapioca starch and dried tablets are used to make plastic fibers, resins, coatings, adhesives and other chemical products; It can also be made into alcohol, glucose, glutamic acid, cassava protein, etc., and plays an important role in food, beverage, medicine, textile, papermaking, etc.; Starch derivatives are widely used in thickeners, puffing agents, stabilizers, flavoring agents, and fat substitutes.

In Africa, when the local people eat cassava, the production method is simple, mostly baked, dried, and ground into a staple food; Most of the existing rough processing models in Africa follow the ancient and simple production and extraction process, with low production efficiency and poor starch quality, which cannot achieve good economic benefits.

Nowadays, the demand for cassava processing in the African market is huge, and finished starch and whole flour have gradually become an important way for the African cassava processing industry, so it is necessary to increase production, enhance starch quality, and realize the automation of tapioca starch processing as soon as possible in order to have a greater competitive advantage.
