It encouraged them to do various innovations in creating high economic value of cassava processed food. b. There was an increasing pattern of skill society in adopting cassava processing fortification technology. It showed that feasibility of cassava as the resource of nutritious staple food increased. Therefore the community will become more productive and innovative, and the technology disseminated in this activity could be further developed and popularized.
