Pran Foods
PRAN's cassava project is a contract farming initiative that was launched in 2014. The project aims to provide Bangladeshi farmers with a sustainable source of income by helping them to cultivate and sell cassava.
PRAN provides farmers with the necessary training, inputs, and financial assistance to grow cassava. The company also guarantees to purchase the entire crop from farmers at a predetermined price.
Once the cassava is harvested, it is transported to PRAN's processing plant in Habiganj. At the plant, the cassava is processed into starch, liquid glucose, and other products.
PRAN's cassava project produces a variety of products, including:
-
Cassava starch: Cassava starch is a versatile ingredient that is used in a wide range of food products, including noodles, bakery goods, and beverages.
-
Liquid glucose: Liquid glucose is a sweetener that is used in food and beverage products, as well as in the pharmaceutical and textile industries.
-
Cassava flour: Cassava flour is a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour. It can be used to make a variety of baked goods, such as bread, cakes, and cookies.
-
