Kenya: Gluten free cassava flour for a niche market

Elizabeth GIKEBE, 26 years, is a software developer. She is processing gluten free cassava flour and cassava starch, targeted at consumers allergic to gluten.
When processing cassava, the main product is cassava flour, but Elizabeth also uses the by-products. The waste is used as animal feed, and she also makes glue from cassava starch, which is used by her company for packaging. Elizabeth produces 25 to 30 tonnes of cassava flour every month, from the cassava supplied by around 40 farmers in the region.
According to Elizabeth, “the secret to success is just believing in yourself and believe that you can do anything. Whatever idea you have just try and execute that idea”.

Cassava has its origins in Brazil, the freed slaves carried it with them when they went back to Africa from Brazil. Brazil has a lot to teach about cassava you should look for new products in Brazil.

[@paatee8831]

Who told you this lie. We have similar climate to Brazil. We have been growing cassava for centuries. We have staples made from cassava.

@@paulinosouza735 Not everything on Wikipedia is fact. Cassava is indigenous to Africa. The fact that it's not recorded doesn't mean we didn't have it.
