| dcterms.description | Small dehusking machines suitable for family use are now available. Based on the PRL models developed in Canada, these different dehusking machines can work continuously or not and are especially suited for processing small batches. They consist of a series of eight or 12 resin disks that dehusk, by abrasion, not only millet and sorghum, but also leguminous crops. Apart from their good results, they favour better storage of seeds that do not need to be humidified before processing. Several models are currently undergoing experimentation or are being distributed in Gambia. Senegal and Zimbabwe. Mali and Niger are also studying how such machines could be built by local tool makers.
