Diversification of the processing of crops is a very
important way of reducing food insecurity, perishability of most
perishable crops and generates verities. Sweet potato has been
diversified in various ways by researchers through processing into
different forms for consumption. The study considered diversifying
the crop into different drinks by combining it with different high
nutrient acceptable cereal. There was significant relationship between
the educational background of the respondents and level of
acceptability of the sweet potato drinks (? 2 = 1.033 and P = 0.05).
Interestingly, significant relationship existed between the most
preferred sweet potato drink by the respondents and level of
acceptability of the sweet potato drinks (r = 0.394, P = 0.031). The
high level of acceptability of the drinks will lead to enhanced
production of the crops required for the drinks that would assist in
income generation and alleviating food and nutrition insecurity.
