The team’s winning idea went far beyond a recipe for maandazi. Their product adds value to mango harvests by utilizing dehydrated mangos rather than the typical fresh-market supply that has a very limited shelf life. The WSU/UI team developed a supply-line plan in which mangos would be purchased from farms and transported to regional processing centers where the fruit would be cleaned, sliced, and dehydrated for retail and wholesale distribution or incorporation into a dry-mix product for maandazis. Using community-appropriate technology, the team envisions a safe, high-quality product that requires minimal capital expenditure and energy costs to produce and distribute and that will create jobs in economically-challenged communities.
