Ghana “Improving the technology and quality control system for higher value addition in the post-harvest processes of the rice value chain (ITEQ)”
Africa Ghana

As part of UNIDO’s ITEQ-Rice project in Ghana, three AI-powered optical colour sorters were donated to women’s groups in remote areas of the Mion District to improve rice processing and quality control. These machines use artificial intelligence, computer vision, and machine learning to rapidly detect and remove defective grains based on color, shape, and size, replacing the time-consuming manual sorting process.
