The process of economic development in any society pre-surposes a
structural and social transformation of immense proportions such a
transformation requires changes in the attitudes of people, changing the
techniques of production and changes in preferences. Consumers expect
amongst other things that the food available to them be cheap, clean,
safe, unadulterated, reasonable priced and handled under sanitary
conditions; for this to be possible, systematic machinery needs to be
developed so that the technological demands of the products as well as
consumer are satisfied.
A prime source of long term
productivity gains is technological innovation. New methods, new
materials and new machines contribute to a faster rate of gain in output
per man hour. Rapid organization has continued to raise income in the
nation and has led to the changes in the nation an has led to the
changes in the nature of demands for food with growing emphasis on
convenience food such as ‘suya’. A revolution in the aesthetic
qualitative and quantitative production of suya is one way by which
Nigerian improves the level of protein nutrition of its people.
In many of the major urban area of the country, the number of suya
meat, the number of suya meat has increased tremendously over the past
decade, while consumption has become improved with respect to ethnicity,
re4lijorn, socio- economic factor or sex. Unfortunately, however, suya
production is still at its technology standard, in which the production
me4thords that have been in use for the past generation are yet to be
replaced or modernized to cope with increasing demand.
AS
demand for improve suya becomes apparent, there is a need to focus more
attentions on the search for ways to reduce the drudger in the suya
industry. While government and foundation have expended millions of
naira on research over the years to improve productivity of
agriculture’s, research expenditure in the area of suya processing,
packaging, storage and distribution has been non-existence, and the
reason can be advanced for this phenomenon, it can be argued that the
decision to transform any mode of production is basically economic. Such
dissension involves:
i) Availability of a more efficient production method.
ii) Calculation of the real benefit to be gained by effecting the change.
Although millions of people may be engaged in the production of suya,
the industry has a slow rate of growth. At the moment, knowledge about
the economic of the current procurement and production methods is the
suya industries are non-existent. Nor is there any adequate scientific
information abuo9t the nutritional and health effects of suya meat. No
information exists as the health hazards or otherwise which is increased
consumption of the product might stand foe the consumption population.
