Aflatoxins are highly toxic metabolites produced by the Aspergillus flavus fungus that infects crops like maize and groundnuts. They pose serious health and trade issues in Africa. IITA developed Aflasafe, a biocontrol product containing non-toxic atoxigenic A. flavus strains, to reduce aflatoxin contamination in crops. A pilot plant in Nigeria produces Aflasafe for distribution in multiple African countries. Studies show Aflasafe can reduce aflatoxin levels by 60-96% in crops and its effects last multiple seasons. Upscaling Aflasafe production and adoption by farmers has potential to significantly improve health, trade, and food security in Africa.
