The study was limited to Osun, Ogun and Oyo States in \nSouthwestern Nigeria where there is high prevalence of yam flour processing activities. \nData for the study were obtained from questionnaire administration on 30 fabricators \nof yam flour processing technologies and 210 small-scale yam flour processors selected \nby a multi-stage sampling technique. The findings indicated that technologies were \navailable for all unit operations of yam flour processing. However, with the exception \nof technologies for the milling stage, other technologies for other stages were either \ninappropriate or inefficient for the small-scale processors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.69798\/72212215","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,21]],"date-time":"2025-07-21T14:25:31Z","timestamp":1753107931000},"page":"1-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Characterization of Processing Technologies in the Small-scale Yam Flour  Processing Industry in Southwestern Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.69798","volume":"5","author":[{"name":"Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, Nigeria","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3906-6772","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomilola","family":"Oguntunde","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2644-6281","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olawale","family":"Adejuwon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"50185","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]]},"container-title":["African Journal of Science Policy and Innovation Management"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,11]],"date-time":"2026-01-11T13:04:38Z","timestamp":1768136678000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/koozakar.com\/journals\/article\/KJ-39274901"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.69798\/72212215","relation":{},"ISSN":["3066-3997"],"issn-type":[{"value":"3066-3997","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]]}}}
