N2  - In smallholder farming areas of Southern Africa, sorghum
and pearl millet arc commonly threshed by pounding the
grain heads with sticks and sweeping up the grain from
the ground. One result is that the grain becomes
contaminated with sand, small stones, and other foreign
matter. If it is to be used for food, the grain must then be
cleaned prior to processing. The technologies commonly
used for such grain cleaning (generally including the
washing and drying of grain) are time-consuming and
expensive. Yet without such cleaning, sorghum or pearl
millet meal, in particular, remains likely to be
contaminated with foreign matter. This severely limits
development of the market for meal.
