Abstract

The present study is part of a project for the management of residues from the industrialized cassava process, set up by the PRI program jointly by the Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology and the French Ministry of Foreign Relations (R$ 29,000.00 were provided for its development). However, according to the program regulations, those funds could not be used for the purchase of equipment, which rendered the development of the project impossible. An alternative found was through FAPESP’s Program for Technological Innovation in Small Businesses, as a means of complementing the resources. (AU)
