The Biotechnology and Nuclear Agriculture Research Institute (BNARI) of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) is set to host an online workshop to equip food processors, hoteliers, and restaurateurs on how to make and market tomato products.
The webinar would be a two-day workshop that would take place on June 8 and 9, 2022. Participants at the event will be introduced to the newly developed tomato processing techniques for tomato paste, ketchup, tomato puree, and Jollof Sauce.
"We are organizing a two-day workshop where we want to introduce people to some convenient technologies and products that we have come up with all in the hope of reducing the losses that we are facing as well as getting some employable skills," a senior research scientist and Head of the Radiation Technology Centre at BNARI, Dr Owureku-Asare said on the Super Morning Show on Tuesday, June 7.
Speaking on the rationale for the event to the host, Kojo Yankson, she said it is also aimed at mitigating the losses in the tomato processing industry.
"It’s a packed programme, we are going to introduce people to different technologies – can technology, solar drying technologies, etc. As it stands we have huge losses in the tomato value chain, up to about 50 percent and it is very important that we use these technologies to help us reduce these losses," she said.
