Zambia introduces Nigerian Garri to school feeding programme.

 Zambia has introduced the consumption and production of ‘Garri,’ one of Nigeria’s major staple foods, into the country’s school feeding programme.

Garri is derived from processed cassava, which is grown in almost all parts of Nigeria and in some West African countries. But the investment appetite for the staple in the Southern African country has prompted the Zambian government to enter into partnership with JR Farms of Nigeria to grow cassava on a commercial scale.

The agreement was entered into recently in Lusaka by the Chief Executive Officer of JR Farms Limited, Mr. Rotimi Olawale, and the Chairman of Zambia National Cassava Association (ZANACA), Mr. Brighton Mulonga.

   If Zambia can put Nigerian Garri into the school feeding ,then the market for garri value addition is enormous. Garri though rich in carbohydrate  can be used in combination with other nutrients to produce wholesome nutritious meals for children and adults.

Echbee Foods uses yellow garri with other nutrients to produce wholesome nutritious meals for people of different ages. The Echbee cassava flakes and Echbee choco balls is a nutritious meal ideal for children. This can be taken as snack or cereal.
