• Niche Indigenous food processing opportunities;
• Wet vs. dry extraction processes; markets for products and by-products;

• Key deciding factors when deciding to build and locate processing facilities;
• Who is investing and financing these facilities;
• What local governments and others can do to attract these facilities to their area.
