The Department of Food Technology of the Federal Institute of Industrial Research, Oshodi, Lagos, was established to accelerate the pace of industrialization in Nigeria through research and development into utilization, and value addition to agricultural produce. This is achieved through processing, preservation, storage, packaging, upgrading of indigenous technologies, and novel food product development. All these are aimed at extending shelf life of agricultural produce into both intermediate and finished products.

The entire postharvest activities (farm to fork) are controlled to ensure nutritious and safe products. Good Manufacturing Practice, (GMP), Good Hygiene Practices (GHP), Standard Operating Principles (SOP) and Quality Assurance (QA) are employed during the entire value chain. This is of primary concern to the Department.

The Department also through her research and development activities helps to impart practical skills that will make students more employable upon graduation. The Department develops processing technologies for indigenous crops and fleshy foods, standardize production technology for traditional foods etc into different food forms that is suitable for possible adoption by cottage, small, medium and large scale entrepreneurs.

While noting that the food and nutrition security of the Nigerian populace is of paramount importance, the department ensures that developed processing technologies and products helps to promote food security, better nutrition for the citizenry and reduce drastically the high incidences of post-harvest losses of indigenous crops.

Vision of the Department

To be a Centre of Excellence in post-harvest handling practices, processing and nutrition technologies using indigenous raw materials suitable for adoption by farmers, cottage, small, medium and large scale food processors.

Mission of the Department

To bridge the current wide gap between food production and utilization requirement in  a growing agrarian economy.

Strategies

1. The Department consists of experienced Research Scientists on post-harvest handling of produce, Food Technologists, Food Product developers, Nutritionists, Animal Scientists, Fisheries Scientists, Biochemists, Toxicologists and Technologists.

2. The Department has different specialized laboratories for handling Research and Development activities of different classes of food.

3. The Department conducts collaborative research with other organizations such as Farmers co-operative societies, donor agencies and organizations, (local and international) on food related projects.

4. The Department carries out contract research activities for small, medium and large scale industries in Nigeria like Nestle, Honeywell etc.

5. Major facilities required for thoroughly carried out Research and Development activities are available in the Department.

The Department periodically trains undergraduate students on Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) and graduates on National Youths Service Corps on different processing technologies and required practical skills necessary to function effectively in food industries.
