“…Processors between the ages of 41 and 50 were found to be more interested in the establishment of HQCF processing businesses, possibly due to the high financial investment needed to start the HQCF enterprise. The majority of the HQCF processors were between the ages of 45 and 54, according to Ogboji (2016); Adejo, Saliu, and Adejo (2020). respectively.…”

High-Quality Cassava Flour (HQCF) as one of the value added products of cassava has the potential to revolutionizing the Nigeria cassava sector. Profitability of the actors in the production of HQCF in South-western Nigeria is therefore the subject of this study. A four multistage sampling technique was used to investigate the working efficiencies and practices of cassava farmers. Mapping surveys for all the areas of production and marketing of HQCF were produced. A total of 381 valid actors (311 cassava producers, 18 processors and 26 marketers) were used. The resulting data was were analysed using descriptive statistics and profitability analysis. Age, household size, and farming experience of the HQCF actors were; 48.3±8.46, 47.6±8.08, 44.1±6.79 years, 6.91±2.15, 5.26±1.03, 7.08±2.47 members, and 21.7±10.81, 8.4±2.11, 10±1.38 years, respectively. Profitability indicators were gross margin and net farm income. The HQCF actors were; ₦849,361.17 and ₦828,499.28/ha/year for cassava farmers. ₦46,028,307.98 and ₦43,761,365.97 for HQCF processors. Marketing margin was ₦8,249.88/year for HQCF marketers. Profitability Index (PI) for the actors were 0.98 and 0.35 cassava farmers and HQCF processors respectively.

“…Globally, about 480 million metric tons of milled rice is being produced annually, with Asian countries such as India, Thailand, China etc., accounting for over 50% of rice grown and consumed [2]. In Nigeria, rice consumption increased by 4.7% in the last decade, with total consumption of 6.4 million tons in 2017 compared to the yearly 3.7 million tons produced [3]. Nigeria is the largest producer and consumer of rice in the West Africa subregion.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the oscillatory motion of a rice dehydrator on drying time, drying rate, electrical energy consumption, specific energy consumption, milling quality (broken milled rice, head milled rice and milling recovery) of rice varieties of FARO 62, FARO 15, and FARO 60. The dehydrator was designed to operate either in a stationary or oscillatory motion. The dehydrator motion influences the drying time, drying rate, electrical energy and specific energy consumption and milling quality regardless of the rice variety. The drying time of the rice varieties ranged from 125 to 290 mins, drying rate (2.897 to 6.72 kgH2O/kg solids h), electrical energy consumption (15.43 to 35.46 MJ), specific energy consumption (5.25 to 11.20 MJ/kg), milling recovery (67.58 to 73.97%), head milled rice (60.47 to 69.10%) and broken milled rice (1.62 to 9.46%), respectively. The oscillatory motion of the dehydrator aided a shorter drying time, faster drying rate, less electrical energy consumption and specific energy consumption, and desirable milling quality. The study concluded that the adoption of oscillatory motion during drying would aid in energy conservation and in the production of quality milled rice.
