| Innovation Title | Specifications for the Right Packaging and Storage of Root, Tuber, and Banana-based Products in Nigeria |
| Innovation description | Root, tuber, and banana-based products such as gari, and yam and plantain flours are hygroscopic and losses their quality during storage if not packaged in the right packaging materials and stored within a specific storage period. Different packaging materials have the ability to retain the quality of these product if stored within the right storage periods. |
