Presented By: Mary McLaughlin

Event: ECHO International Agriculture Conference 2019 (20-11-2019)

Session : Fresh breadfruit is delicious but the real commercial potential lies with post-harvest products. In this session the array of retail breadfruit products being produced for local and export markets will be discussed. This includes flour, snack bars, pancake mixes, pizelles, tostones, konparets, porridge, milkshakes, vodka, and more. The commercial potential is large especially as many of these products are gluten free, vegetarian, and even kosher. The benefits go not only to the buying public but also to the farmers and processors in many tropical countries. Mary will share about the growers and processors, describe the production process and share recipes.
