There’s renewed hope for local dasheen exports as a month-long post-harvest treatment trial has yielded promising results.
Speaking to the API, Local CARDI representative, Donowa Jackson says the successful experiment opens the door to re-entering the UK market.
With the trial now complete, Jackson confirmed that a pilot shipment will soon be sent to the United Kingdom using the most effective treatment identified.
The trial, which tested 13 different post-harvest treatments, comes in response to a ban on the use of Riddle Mill, previously the go-to method for preparing dasheen for export.
