Yam Processing for Pounded Yam

The ABUAD Industrial Park is proud to host an advanced yam processing facility dedicated to producing high-quality pounded yam flour. With state-of-the-art technology, efficient processes, and strict quality control, we aim to support the agricultural sector while meeting the growing demand for premium pounded yam products locally and globally.

Why Pounded Yam?

Pounded yam is a staple dish in many African households and a symbol of tradition and heritage. It is cherished for its smooth texture, delightful flavor, and its role in bringing families together during meals. However, traditional preparation can be time-consuming. Our processing unit offers a convenient, high-quality alternative in the form of yam flour, which simplifies the process without compromising taste or nutritional value.

Our Yam Processing Technology

At the ABUAD Industrial Park, our yam processing unit combines innovation and efficiency to ensure the best outcomes. The key stages of production include:

1. Yam Sourcing and Selection

  • We work closely with local farmers to source fresh, high-quality yams.
  • Only mature and healthy tubers are selected to ensure a superior final product.

2. Washing and Peeling

  • The yams are thoroughly washed to remove dirt, sand, and impurities.
  • Automated peeling machines ensure consistency and minimize waste.

3. Slicing and Pre-treatment

  • The yams are sliced into even pieces for uniform drying.
  • Pre-treatment helps preserve natural color and nutritional value.

4. Drying

  • Sliced yams are dried in controlled conditions using industrial-grade dryers.
  • This step ensures optimal moisture removal while retaining essential nutrients.

5. Milling and Sieving

  • The dried yam slices are milled into fine powder using advanced milling equipment.
  • The flour is sieved to achieve a smooth, lump-free texture.

6. Packaging

  • The processed yam flour is hygienically packaged in various sizes to cater to diverse consumer needs.
  • Packaging is designed to maintain freshness and extend shelf life.

Quality Assurance

  • Quality is at the heart of our operations. Our yam processing facility adheres to strict hygiene and safety standards:

    • Laboratory Testing: We conduct regular testing to ensure our products meet industry standards.
    • Nutritional Integrity: The process is optimized to preserve the nutritional benefits of yam, including its rich carbohydrate content and dietary fiber.
    • Certifications: Our facility complies with NAFDAC, ISO, and other relevant certifications for food safety and quality.

Sustainability and Community Impact

At ABUAD Industrial Park, we are committed to sustainable practices:

  • Waste Management: Yam peels and other by-products are repurposed for animal feed or organic compost.
