Tooke porridge wows Kenyans at Uganda-Kenya Coast Conference

Uganda’s Tooke brand drew some of the best numbers at the recent Uganda–Kenya Coast Tourism Conference and Exhibition in Malindi, where its matooke-based flour and confectionery products became a surprise hit among Kenyan visitors tasting them for the first time. Officials said ongoing research under the Presidential Initiative on Matooke aims to expand product lines beyond food to include innovations such as garments and fibers made from banana plant cuttings.
