Community in need of presser and slicer for processing gari

The community in Adaklu produces and cooks cassava (gari) for their own consumption and for sale. They cook the gari and sell it as a processed product. They have been using traditional cook stoves until SAG introduced more efficient community stoves emitting less smoke.

This has resulted in better quality gari while making smoke-related diseases are a thing of the past. Notably, the cooking time has also significantly reduced.

With these improvements, some of the challenges they still have include the absence of a presser and slicer. The presser used is time consuming and very inefficient. The slicer comes on a request basis.
