In 2019, Cameroon imported 850 tons of wheat flour. Owing therefore to this ever increasing demand for imported wheat, URA Farms saw not only the availability of a market but as well an opportunity which could be explored by the provision of a substitute product ( plantain and yam flour ) all in a bit to partially absorb the national wheat flour demand. The absence of gluten in plantain flour, its high nutritive value in terms of vitamin A, B, magnesium and phosphorous is a perfect substitute for persons who are unable to digest the gluten in wheat flour, and moreover, it is suitable for consumption by those suffering from type 1 and type 2 diabetes. An estimated two million persons in Cameroon are either type 1 or type 2 diabetes patients. In this regard therefore, we at URA Farms firmly believe that contributing in the provision of healthy and affordable food products with all natural ingredients will go a long way to satisfying the dietary habits of diabetes patients.
