Determining and managing maize yield gaps in Rwanda | Food
Smallholder maize growers are experiencing significant yield gaps due to sub-optimal agricultural practices. Adequate agricultural inputs, particularly nutrient amendments and best management practices, are essential to reverse this trend. There is a need to understand the cause of variations in maize yield, provide reliable early estimates of yields, and make necessary recommendations for
According to Rwanda Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), the regulation mandates that all food processing companies in Rwanda start producing fortified foods, well packaged, labelled and transported under safe and hygienic conditions. The food items that are required to be fortified include maize flour, wheat flour, cooking oil, salt and sugar
Determining and managing maize yield gaps in Rwanda
Maize yield was highest at 40 kg P ha−1 and response to N fertilizer was adequately simulated at Nyakiliba (R2 = 0.85, maximum yield 3.3 t ha−1). Yield gap was 4.6 t ha−1 in Nyakiliba and 5.
Maize having oil content of more than 6% is called high oil maize. The parts of maize seed/kernel are endosperm. (82%), germ (embry o and scutellum) (12%); ab out 80 to 84% of total kernel oil is
Analysis of national and regional agricultural trade in maize
The Kenyan imports of soybean from Uganda amounted to 14,870 tonnes for a value of 4,566,000 US$. Kenya also imports maize from Tanzania. Kenya is exporting large quantities of soybean oil to Rwanda, amounting to 676 tonnes for values of 959,000 US$ in 2010 and large quantities of wheat to Uganda.
Subject of the evaluation Maize is the third largest crop in Rwanda and is largely produced by smallholder farmers (SHFs). Access to commercial markets is limited by excessively high levels of aflatoxin levels in their crops due to fungal infections which occur as a result of poor storage in humid conditions.
METHODS USED FOR EXTRACTION OF MAIZE (ZEA MAYS, L.) GERM OIL
The maize germ consists of 80% of oil of maize kernel as presented in Table 1. Therefore, vegetable oils are mostly extracted by using solvent extraction (Kemper, 2005). Solvent extraction of
Large-scale food fortification programs have been in place in industrialized countries since the early 20th century and have helped to eliminate deficiency diseases in high-income countries, mainly in North America and Europe. 4,14 More recently, food fortification has gained traction in LMIC as well, and its health impact in these countries is growing. 15 However, the effectiveness of

cereals and oilseeds – and the contamination may occur in the field and storage. At low levels of dietary exposure, aflatoxins are associated with immune suppression (Mohsenzadeh et al., 2016), low birth weight (Passarelli et al. 2020), stunted growth in children (Rasheed et al. 2021), and liver cancer--the best known of aflatoxinhealth effects.
standards suggest that maize should have no more than 13-14 percent moisture content when it is stored or milled. Maize in Rwanda may have higher moisture content, although the exact amount is not known because rural farmers do not have moisture meters. Residual moisture can lead the maize to be tainted by aflatoxin, a carcinogenic fungus.
