No more pounding
Mechanics in Benin and Togo have adapted simple crushing machines, first designed in Europe, for small-scale food processing. There is a hand-driven mechanical one and an electric one, powered by a dynamo. They can be used by women to crush and grind 100 kg of cossette pods of yam or cassava in just a few minutes, instead of the six hours required for the traditional manual method. Each machine costs about h 530. More details from the address below. Later in 2001 we shall carry several descriptions of locally-produced food processing machinery. We invite you to send details of such equipment to the Spore editors (address page 15). P Tchangaï ITRA BP 1163 Lomé, Togo Email: itra@cafe.tg
