Description
This report summarizes the results of a ‘gendered food mapping’ survey carried out in Nigeria. Farmer-processors, processors and marketers were asked about the preferred and non-preferred characteristics at each stage of the processing of cassava roots into Fufu: from the tubers to ready to eat food product. Special attention was given to social differentiation and intersection with gender. A well structured questionnaire was used for the study, where key informant group interviews (KII), Focus Group Discussions (FGD), Individual interviews (II) and Market Interviews (MI) were captured to provide information on the product.
