Prior to our full commencement , the company has received certification from National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), also from the Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON), with trade links with Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC). The Company is involve the prcessing of Acha (HUNGRY RICE) with Brand Name PYE-ACHA. its seed is rich in methionine the amino acid vital to human health and deficient in today's major cereals: wheat, rice, maize, sorghum, barley and rye. its is considered as one of the world's best tasting cereal. it has been referred to as "Hungry rice, a misleading term originated by Europeans who knew little of the crop or the lives of those who used it. So many people are discouraged from using it because of the "SAND" associated with it due to the traditional way it is processed. Doctors have even recommended it ti Diabetic patients. it is also good for Nursing mothers, Children, Weight watchers and the Elderly. Pye-Acha is used in variety of ways. it can be made into porridage or couscous, grond and mixed with other flours to make breads and pastas. The grains are easily digestible and can be used for making pudding, Gwete, Acha Jellof, Casserole, Tuwo, Kuru etc. Traditionally, the grain is dehulled by beating or tramping and it is dehulled in a morta. This is difficult and time consuming. Because of it's small seed size, the harvest is very difficult to winnow as sand tends toremain with the seed and produces gritty foods. The processing is extremely difficult. Acha Producind is successfully achieved by our company, using semi-mechanized methods of winnowing, grading, destoning, washing and drying. This process however, removes all traces of sands and other impurities which have been a thing of concern to most acha users, the process therefore makes the finished product ready for use without further processing it except for other uses.
