Our Crops

At TaroTek-SA, we focus on traditional crops like madumbe (taro/yams), mdumbulu (cassava), ubatata (sweet potatoes), and ndlubu (round nuts). These nutrient-rich crops have sustained communities for generations and hold immense potential for creating high-value food, pharmaceutical, and industrial products. By revitalizing their production and processing, we aim to drive sustainable rural development and economic growth in local communities.

Amadumbe

Amadumbe, also known as taro or yams, is a starchy root vegetable with a rich, earthy flavor. It's packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a nutritious staple in many African diets. Amadumbe is versatile, used in traditional dishes and processed into food, pharmaceutical, and industrial products.

Ubhatata

Ubhatata, or sweet potatoes, are nutrient-rich tubers known for their natural sweetness and versatility. Packed with vitamins A and C, they are a healthy and popular choice in both traditional and modern dishes. Sweet potatoes can also be processed into flours, snacks, and bio-based products, contributing to sustainable industries.

Umdumbulu

Umdumbulu, or cassava, is a drought-resistant root crop valued for its high carbohydrate content. It can be eaten boiled, fried, or processed into flour, and is essential for food security. Beyond traditional uses, cassava can be processed into starches, biofuels, and pharmaceutical products, adding significant economic value.
