■Doing samething allover and expecting different results is an illusion.
■With cheaper energy sources, food processing becomes more sustainable with friendlier environment.

SUBSIDY REMOVAL
With the arbitrary removal of the subsidy on fuel by the last administration, the upsurge of the surcharge on the economy had a revibratory effects on all human activities causing hydra headed monsters including the Food Security which is the mainstay of all human activities, as it affects vasually everything in all sectors of the economy including Agricultural production and processing.
●In Agroproduction the hike in fuel prices affect the agronomy, mechanisation, farming imputs amongst others
while in
●Agroprocessing, worsening the energy requirements for processing operations which may negatively affect the capacity of the processing plants leading to laying off the staff and not meeting up with supply targets with resultant gap in the supply chain which may result in inflation.
■ RESTRATEGISING.
Already, the world is moving away from fossil fuels applications, with no hesitation it’s timely to involve renewable energy sources for both industrial and domestic usage.
■ Transiting to renewable energy is gaining more popularity by the day with improved technology such as innovation in Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system.which is currently meeting the energy requirements in many African countries such as Ghana, Rwanda, South Africa , Morocco, Kenya amongst many others expanding energy access to remote settlement not covered by national power grid.
■SUGGESTED PALLIATIVES
— The quality of the shool feeding programme must be improved to give two square meals to pupils per day while the parents take care of the dinner.
— Welfare stipend be given to senior citizens ie above 60yrs
— The logistics of mass transit vehicles be provided at cheaper rate.
— Assisted food processing operation — such as provision of loans for renewable energy installation.
— Encouraging the offtakers approach of agricultural production through ICT development.
These amongst many others will suffice.

-Plant Protein
Cashews contain phytonutrients and quicker muscle repair property. Plant proteins have been linked to a lower risk of stroke heart disease
-Essential micro-nutrients
Cashew kernels are a good source of copper, magnesium and Manganese (nutrients for energy production, brain health, immunity and bone health
).
-Reduce cholesterol

TYPES OF COLD CHAINS
-SHOCK FREEZERS
Shock Freezers are professional equipment that controls temperature necessary for keeping products fresh for a long time.
While preserving the products the equipment makes to keep undamaged nutritional value of the products after being defrosted. The equipment is made to consists of Double Stage Semi Hermatic compressors. The Shock freezers system allows to lower the temperature very rapidly up to -180°C degrees. Freezing is provided by air coolers of it by blowing over fronted surface of the wagon. This enables to freeze down quickly in cold air flow. The room air should not exceed 35°/-40.°C. Besides, it’s proven to be a low-waste and environment friendly system.
COLDSTORAGE
This system is manufactured and installed with the entire components like it is ready to use. It could be of mobile device.
This system can be disassembled so it can be moved to other places.
Cold storage consist of the following levels and types of preserving:
-Cold-rooms 🙁 +16° / +5°C)
-Cold storage Rooms (+5°/-5°C)
-Freezing Rooms : (-18°/-23°C)
-Shock freezer :(-35°/-40°C) .
DEEPFREEZE ROOMS.
These are for preserving products such as meat, poultry etc. For a long time. They are preserved under temperatures not exceeding – 18°/-23°C. In order to isolate these rooms 150mm width sandwich panels are used.
COLD ROOMS
Cold rooms are used to keep baked goods, chocolates etc.
The cold rooms prevent bacteria from growing. Low ventilation allows workers to work without endangering their health which is very important aspect too.
