SCOPE
All presentations should be non-commercial in content and should address flour and feed milling industry innovations, standards, and trends. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
In Ethiopia most of the mills are compact mills with very short break and reduction system, with no detachers, no purifiers and with air filters of poor cleaning system. Washing machines are being used for cleaning in most of these mills. Comparison of the flow diagrams and operation of the two different types of mills, the flour yield and quality and overall efficiency would help millers to understand limitations of their mills, see how to optimize their operation and evaluate options available for improvement.
In Ethiopia, Maize is number one in volume of production followed by Teff.TeffIngra is the most preferred bread by most Ethiopians. Yet, there is no industrial milling of both Maize and Teff currently in Ethiopia. Ethiopia also produces substantial quantity of Sorghum all of which is milled at cottage mills currently. A paper on this will create awareness on the subject and aspire millers to evaluate investing in industrial milling of these cereals.
The demand for wheat in Ethiopia during the last few years has been greater than the local supply and government is importing wheat which is being used only for bread at subsidized price. The price of local wheat is also increasing significantly from year to year. Most of the local wheat supply comes from small land holders and getting consistent quality of wheat in big volumes is difficult. Currently, there is no government or other body that make assessment on the yearly production before or after harvest that provides information to millers on the volume of wheat produced based on some standardized quality parameters .There is no standard quality grading and pricing based on quality. A paper on the subject could help to understand the impact of the problem on the industry and initiate a further study that will recommend how to tackle the problem.
Most of the flour mills are being operated by unskilled professionals. There are only few professionals who received proper training in milling technology abroad as there is no local institutions for flour milling technology training. As a result, most of the mills are being operated inefficiency. A paper that asses the magnitude of the problem and recommends solution could be interesting and helpful to the Ethiopian millers.
What are the differences in the cleaning and milling technology between wheat and durum. How to produce a high quality durum semolina or durum pasta flour. Which parameters in the durum semolina and durum flour are having an influence in the pasta production.
