SOTEC village-level potato processing development: Organization and marketing
1992
Nave, R.W.
This paper describes the development of a potato drying process. This process includes processing equipment, an organizational structure, and marketing of dried chips, strips, and powder produced in small village untis of 10-15 people,. Assumptions had to be made for each aspect of the process and tested in pilot projects before introducing the process to village untis. This paper concludes that a viable potato drying project is possible wherever there is a large, seasonal fluctuation in potato prices; the harvest season is followed by a 3-4 month dry season; rural wages are relatively low; and, there is an existing or potential market for this type of product.
