| description |
In the context of globalization, local
African products already in high demand, could be
successfully marketed nationally, and internationally. This
holds true for the traditional sugar cane wine making in
parts of West Africa, namely, Angola, Congo, and the
Democratic Republic of Congo. The note expands on the local
knowledge process, used in making this wine: an ancestral
practice, transmitted from to generation to generation,
which contributes to job creation, and is a source of income
for small processing enterprises. The growing demand for
sugar cane wine has a stimulus effect on its production, and
is increasing the need for equipment, and packaging. Sugar
cane technology, and knowledge transmission is emerging,
particularly within producer groups, and associations. Two
methods of apprenticeship are identified: from elder to
younger generations, and, knowledge sharing. The prospects
regarding this indigenous technical knowledge are vast
regarding African economic development, but constraints,
such as low productivity, storage problems, and lack of
bottling techniques, prevent the full marketing process to
attain commercial benefits. Researchers, nongovernmental
organizations, and entrepreneurs should strengthen this
indigenous knowledge, by combining same with transfer
mechanisms from science and technology, research and
development institutes, and back to the local communities.
This approach could trigger a new dynamism of economic activity. |
