About this program

Local staples like cassava and plantain remain highly sought after, prompting EPAHM to invest in training more individuals in this sector. Interestingly, while both are perennial crops, plantain requires relatively less energy to cultivate. Moreover, these crops offer versatile economic benefits, as they can be transformed into various products, such as flour. Rich in essential nutrients, cassava and plantain provide significant health benefits. Cassava is an excellent source of carbohydrates, fiber, and minerals like potassium and magnesium. Plantain, on the other hand, is rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber. These nutrients contribute to healthy digestion, energy production, and immune function. This service to train is at the nick of time when price of wheat flour is at its peak. By promoting the cultivation and consumption of cassava and plantain, EPAHM aims to enhance food security, support local economies, and provide nutritious food options for communities.
