🌱 WEEK 3 — WHAT CAN CASSAVA BECOME?

Our “What Can It Become?” journey continues!

In Week 1, we explored MANGO. 🥭

In Week 2, we discovered the possibilities of BAOBAB. 🌳

This week, we turn our attention to one of Africa’s familiar and widely used crops — CASSAVA! 🌱

Across Africa, cassava is an important source of food and income for many families and women entrepreneurs.

But when you see cassava, what do you see?

A staple food? Something to sell at the market? A traditional dish?

🤔 Have you ever wondered what else cassava could become?

What if cassava could be transformed into products that last longer, reach more customers and find their way onto supermarket shelves across Africa?

And what if processing could help reduce losses when cassava is harvested in large quantities?

💬 THIS WEEK, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

1️⃣ Which African country are you joining us from?

2️⃣ Is cassava widely available in your country? What is it called locally?

3️⃣ What products do you know that can be made from cassava?

4️⃣ Have you seen an interesting packaged cassava product in a supermarket or shop in your country or another African country? Tell us where!

5️⃣ If you had plenty of cassava today, what product would YOU create, and which African country would you like to sell it in?

🌍 THERE ARE NO WRONG ANSWERS!

Perhaps you already process cassava. Perhaps you sell it fresh. Or perhaps you have seen a cassava product somewhere that inspired you.

We want to learn from your experience!

Even if you don’t know what else cassava can become, tell us. That is exactly why we are having this conversation.

✨ SEE → IMAGINE → MAKE → TRADE

Our goal is to help African women discover new possibilities, explore value addition, reduce avoidable losses and understand where their products could find markets within Africa.

Remember, value addition is not just about making something new. It is about creating something that people need and are willing to buy.

🌱 NOW OVER TO YOU!

What can CASSAVA become? And where in Africa could it be sold?

👇 Share your country, ideas and experiences in the comments.

Your knowledge could inspire another African woman to see a new business opportunity!
