Residents of Mainstay/Whyaka, Region Two, are now set to become more self-sufficient with the opening of a cassava agro-processing and water purification facility.
The milestone was marked by a ceremony yesterday morning, signalling new opportunities for economic growth and community development.
The agro-processing facility will produce garlic-flavoured cassava bread, quinches, beverages, and other cassava-based products, while the water purification facility will provide bottled water for residents and tourists. Together, these facilities are expected to significantly enhance the village’s economy and create employment opportunities.
