"Enset is used to make kocho. Weldemichael said the processing of kocho is carried out in the backyard of a farmer’s home, often by women with traditional knowledge. It uses natural microbes and old equipment. The fermentation process is often lengthy, and labor-intensive and can lead to inconsistent and unhygienic product quality. Little is known about the microbes in kocho and their roles in fermentation and spoilage. Design and development of processing equipment and starter cultures should optimize, standardize and transform kocho into a commercial-level product, she added."
