This study focused on creation of market opportunities of instant fufu powder for smallholder women farmers in Oriire local government, Oyo state, Nigeria. The purpose of the project at the rural level was to ensure creation and encouragement of more of off-farm activities like processing, storage and marketing. A multistage random sampling technique was adopted to select 240 farmers/processors involved in development of value chains for Cassava flour to improve their livelihoods and incomes as direct beneficiaries. Demonstration /training were done with the assistance of trained personnel for better understanding. Physical and live practices were used for the demonstration. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The result of the study showed that 90.8% of the farmers take their products to the market with the enthusiasm of selling all, but often these products are not fully sold due to higher supply of the same products with lower demand in the market places. The adoption of fufu powder processing by the rural women did not result in acquisition of new assets although 88% of the beneficiaries reported increase in their capability to meet expenditure on food, children education, and meeting social obligations like naming ceremonies. Currently a 1 kg of mechanically processed odourless powder ‘fufu’ retails for N250 in Nigeria. The study concluded that, the powdered cassava ‘flour’ packaging business is a potentially acceptable business that prevents post-harvest losses. It is still calling for massive investment by aspiring entrepreneurs. This will ensure capabilities to meet food requirements of a growing population by eliminating losses, making more nutritive food items from raw commodities.

Based on an epidemiological survey,1 human TBEV neuroinfections may have an endemic emergent course, and natural foci are in full territorial expansion. Identified risk areas are Tulcea district, Transylvania, at the base of the Carpathian Mountains and the Transylvanian Alps.2,3 TBE has been a notifiable disease since 1996. Surveillance of TBE is not done at the country level, only regionally in some counties (northern/central/western part, close to Hungary). The passive surveillance system was implemented in 2008. However, there is no regular screening and the relative risk of contracting this disease is unknown. In 1999, an outbreak of TBE in humans was recorded with a total of at least 38 human cases.4

The method use in this research is quantitative descriptive analysis using SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Treath). The samples in this study is the purposive sample. Result of a study showed the amount of income earned from the group of women farmers in the one month is 150,000/ members. Proper development strategies used in the development strategies used in the development KWT Melati is a Growth Oriented Strategy is very profitable strategy to seize opportunities with the strength. Pembangunan ketahan pangan dilaksanakan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dasar manusia yang memberikan manfaat secara adil dan merata berdasarkan kemandirian, dan tidak bertentangan dengan keyakinan masyarakat. Mengacu pada Peraturan Pemerintah No 22 Tahun 2009 mengenai Percepatan Penganekaragaman Konsumsi Pangan (P2KP). Namun, hal ini tidak didukung dengan adanya pengembangan kelompok wanita tani. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kuantitatif dengan menggunakan analisis SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Treath). Penentuan sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan sampel purposive. Hasil penelitian menunjukan besaran pendapatan yang diperoleh dari adanya kelompok wanita tani dalam satu bulan adalah Rp.150.000/bulan/anggota. Strategi pengembangan yang tepat digunakan dalam pengembangan Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) Melati adalah Growth Oriented Strategy.
