Tii Ki Komi Cassava Commercial Growers

Strengthening rural development through cassava production and processing

2016 SAG-SEED Award Winner Sustainable Agriculture Lamwo district, Uganda

Innovative processes to produce high-quality cassava chips, flour and peels improve food security and strengthen local agro-economy.

Training on cassava post-harvest methods and organic manure production raise awareness about environmental sustainability in cassava production.

Tii Ki Komi Cassava Commercial Growers (TCCG) sources fresh cassava from local farmers and processes them into chips, flour and peels of highly competitive price and quality. The company provides training on agronomic practices to enhance cassava post-harvest handling and production of organic manure.

Products are currently sold for household consumption and to breweries, and the innovative production and sale of cassava peels as animal feed has developed new market opportunities. The enterprise plans to expand in scale and to enter local and foreign markets.
