Story: Emmanuel Modey, Hohoe
THREE all-female groups in the Hohoe District have gone into serious business to boost gari production.
The groups are at Akpalanu, Segbedema and Liati, each with seven members.
Strengthened by the micro-finance and small loan scheme (MASLOC), they form part of the Hohoe Industrial Project managed by NATKOV Farms and Trading Enterprise, Hohoe.
They own a cassava grater through the Hohoe District Assembly, and apart from supplying food to the local market, they are aiming at the outside markets as well.
Their product is packaged well in two and 25 kilogram weight.
Speaking in a field trip to one such group, the Director of NATKOV Farms, Mr Nathaniel M. Kove, said apart from gari, they also hoped to come out with starch, flour, chips, fermented flour and tapioka.On marketing, he said they did not have any problems, since any amount they produced was easily purchased.
