Meet and experience each step of the manual manufactoring process of flour. The culture surrounding the production of flour is still very strong in the riverine areas, kept alive by the distribution of the flour that is widely used and consumed today. Each stage of the production process takes steps to avoid excess waste. Understanding flour production is an important step toward understanding daily life in the region.
