With rising demand for traditional, affordable, and healthy foods, arrowroots offer fast turnover and daily cash flow. The best sourcing strategy is to buy directly from farmers or rural markets to maximize profits.

A home-based arrowroot value addition venture can be started with relatively low capital and simple equipment. By processing raw arrowroots into products such as flour, crisps, and porridge mixes, entrepreneurs can increase the value of the crop and create a profitable small business.

​Arrowroots (locally called nduma) are widely consumed in Kenya, especially for breakfast. Processing them into arrowroot flour increases shelf life, opens new markets, and significantly raises the product value.
