Alhough there is readily available market for
processed agro-commodities,
Before starting business,there is a need to
establish contact with potential
customers,suppliers and people that will.be
linked to the business one way or the other.
This is because of the rapid changes that
normally occur in the preferences of the
consumers which will allow the business to
prepare for these changes

SIMPLE ANALOGY SHOWING WHY PROCESSING PAYS
If 1 tons of cassava will pay you about #12,000
and with 4 tons of cassava that will produce 1tons of cassava flour sold for #80,000 apart from the profit that will be generated from the by-products
Will you venture into cassava farming or cassava flour production?
Picking rationally,i believe that you are going to venture into processing.
Even though labour usage, production efficiency in processing, assuming all things being equal

Profit for the farmer (4Tons @12,000/ton) = #48,000
To process cassava into flour or Gari
4tons of cassava tubers is needed

Profit for processor (1 ton sold at #80,000)

Processing is good, but it has huge start up cost. So one may start with planting first.

Lesgupnigeria: WHY EXPORTATION OF UNPROCESSED RAW-MATERIALS WiLL SLOW YOUR JOURNEY DOWN TO MAKING MILLIONS AND CREATING WEALTH
Exportation of unprocessed or semi processed raw materials such as cassava chips,sesame seed,ginger,groundnut and so on is one of the venture preferable among Nigerians.
Yes,it is profitable but will not be sustainable in the long run.
The hand of time is changing its prosperous hands.in the direction of investors,individuals and entrepreneurs that are able to understand and take advantage of exporting processed food. and not the other way round.
Some prominent companies are taken advantage of that now.This is not only generating foreign currency for them,it is also creating employment for our people in Nigeria
1kg Plantain flour/cassava flour are currently being sold at $25 in major stores across US and UK which is more than 5 times profitable than exporting the raw tubers into the US.
This thread is going to show you the benefit of exporting processed food than unprocessed one.
It also.seems that government is begginning ti.realised that export of unprocessed food products is causing a lot of unemployment and robbing us of our local capacity for processing.
Recently,Nigeria Export Promotion Council said that the federal government will soon ban the exportation of unprocessed raw materials to.other countries.This mean exportation of unprocessed rawmaterials might not be too safe against government policy in the nearest future.


With FOB export contract,
profit on 1ton of cassava chips should be about 40%
1 ton = #15,000; therefore 4tons =15,000*4 = #60,000
Outsource Chipping process = #30,000
Transportation&packaging = #50,000
other expenses = #40,000
Total expenses = #180,000
sold $394/ton = 394*4 = #252,160 ($1=#160)
Profit =#72,160

Processed Plantain/Cassava flour
4 tons of raw tubers will produce 1 tons of flour
1 ton=1000kg
Production capacity -1000kg
market price/kg - $25
Production cost/1kg of flour is #320 =$2
company sales to foreign distributor =$18/kg
Profit =$[18 - 2] = $16/kg
for 1000kg =$16*1000=$16,000
In Nigeria currency= $16,000*160 =#2,560,000
You are making over 2million just by processing.
NOTE:THESE FIGURES ARE HYPOTHETICAL
Just to explain and let you see the different in profit made by exporting processed food products and exporting the unprocessed.
Many local food companies now prefer to export than sell in the local market and are raking in millions on daily basis.
This is the way to making millions...The fast lane to riches.
Ayoola foods and others are living examples

Garri fortified with Vitamin A is a new catch in
Nigeria and only very few Garri producers in
Nigeria know about this unique Vitamin A
fortification opportunity.
Take advantage of this money making opportunities.

erentiating your brand by building and
keeping trust and loyalty among consumers
is increasingly dependent on social or
environmental promises. Brands of the
future anticipate, rather than just respond to,
what consumers and customer want.

Garri is both a staple food and a daily meal to over 150 million people in Nigeria can be
eaten as a snack (cassava flakes) in cold water on a very hot day, or cooked in hot water to make a dough-like meal called “Eba.” You cannot
claim to have eaten any West African food
without having eaten Garri!

HOW TO PROCESS CASSAVA INTO GARRI
Garri is traditionally made at home in Africa.
It is increasingly becoming common to
produce Garri in commercial quantities using
mechanized means.
Garri is made from cassava, the tubers are harvested and peeled, removing the.covering.
The white pulp is grated in a garri grinding machine.
Before the advent of machines, the cassava is
hand grated. The grated produce is then put into a jute sack and the sack tied.

Traditionally, this is left to ferment for three
to seven days depending on the type of garri
being made.
This step is very important, as the fermentation process helps to reduce and detoxify the high cyanide content of cassava.
The garri filled sacks are stacked up on each
other, and a wooden board placed below and
above the sacks.
The wooden boards are tied together with the
sacks full of the grated cassava in between.
Tension is created by tightening the rope and
thus allowing water to run out of the grated cassava being processed.

Starting any agricultural business can be a
little more cumbersome and stressful as a
beginner but you have got to keep focus and
keep going until you reach where you
actually want to be.

Usually, by day three, the grated cassava
would have lost quite some water and
become reasonably dried.
This step is also been by-passed with the use
of machines that compress and squeeze
water out of the grated cassava.

LISTS OF EQUIPMENT USED FOR A CASSAVA
PROCESSING PLANT

The cassava processing plant is a 5.HP capacity machine and can produce two (2) tons of grated cassava tubers.

The major machinery required in the production of garri is the:

Grating machine

Hydraulic press

Fryers

Other minor equipments required include
knives/peelers, wheelbarrow, basins

Good morning, please i need someone that is successful in plantain farming to coach me do you have anyone you can recommend? I believe training/coaching is very important when going into a new business, else one might fail.

Please assist if you have anyone you can recommend.

It is believed that in Nigeria, each family pays about N400 for a five-liter bucket of garri every week. Then the market potential is 22.5 million (household estimate) times N400, which equals N 9 billion worth of garri being consumed every week from our open markets.
Food-packaging is an important facet of any food industry. It not only provides some protection from harmful agents, but also allows that food to be preserved for longer periods of time. You can package any of these products in 250 gram, 500
grams, 1kg or 2kg bags. With the population of over 150 million Nigerians, you will definitely make a lot of money and this will prepare you for the international market.

Did you know that snails are the most
prolific livestock animal producing
morethan 150 eggs at a time in one clutch?
It’s also the livestock that requires less
stress in breeding them. You can buy a
baby snail for less than N30 and make more
than N200 as profit on such snail when it
reaches table size.
The prolific aspect is that you can decide to
breed 4 snails and before a year runs out
you will have more than a thousand snails
in your snail farm. Though their is a kind of
spechie that produce this amount of eggs
at a time twice in a year. It is called Achtina
achatina, capable of producing 300 eggs in
a clutch.
If you can produce at least 30, 000 snails
that sells @N50 each (whole sale price)
table size you will be making N1,500,000 in
one season.
Snail also does not require money to buy
their foods as it is naturally available.

to setup the business. Pls read the full
