Maize is traditionally the main
ingredient in many weaning foods in Africa. Baby Cereals with improved garin
quality (such as decreased aflatoxins)
and added nutritional value can bring nutritional benefits as well as market
opportunities.
According to the International
Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), maize is the most important cereal crop in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and
an important staple food for more than
1.2billion people in SSA and Latin America.
Maize accounts for 30-50% of low
income household expenditures in Eastern and Southern Africa.
