Garri is possibly a Hausa word cos any powdery substance is called Garri. E.g

Garrin Kwaki--Powdery substance made from cassava.

Basically Garri in hausa means Powdered,so it cud b Garri anything sofar its powdered.

You have tried. But I'm amazes at the intellectual bankruptcy on nairaland. No attempt to read or to think at all. So sorry.

I don't know where the name Garri comes from but there is a very old Hausa word Gari (same pronunciation with Garri ). It means any powdery ground material especially foodstuff. Ground grains eg Garin Dawa (guinea corn Garri ) Garin masara ( maize flower) Garin sugar. It can also be other substances eg Garin Magani ( ground medicine like alabukum powder.)
Ground food stuff ((cereal) mixed with water used to be the major diet in the north many centuries ago. This was especially so for travelers who cannot always carry cooked meals. Traveling on horseback on donkeys and trekking takes very long time and required ready fast food. For example nowadays 1hr 15min. Takes you to kano from Zaria. Before 120 years ago it was a standard 5 days journey and you need to take a lot of "garri" with you.
The age of this ancient word in Hausa language can be realized by its occurence in old proverbs and in the naming of towns and villages.
1. "Yaro da Garri Abokin tafiyar manya". Meaning - A young boy who has Garri (powdered cereal) can journey with the elders.
2. Wanda Allah Ya zuba Ma GARInsa nono Ba zai sha da tsamiya Ba. Meaning- who God powers milk in his Garri he will not have to drink it with just tamarind. ( milk with Garri was luxury while tamarind fruit available in the forest can just improve the taste.)
3." Wanka da GARI ba ya maganin yunwa. " Meaning- taking bath with Garri is not a cure for hunger.
Think about the meaning of these 3 old proverbs.
You may also remember an old town in sokoto state called "Shagari"( where a former president comes from.) The name denotes affluence as indicated by a lot of Garri you can drink.

And how will this affect the price of Garri in the market?

President!

Garri is a corrupt word for "ngarri" which is and Igbo word, it is where "iri ngarri(Igbo) or eating garri(english)" come from which iz a literal meaning for corruption in Igbo language.

Shehucom: its suprising that all d tribes in nigeria call it that general name. BTW na why southerners dey call EBA self garri

Nobody calls garri Eba in Igboland. Eba is a lagos/SW thing.

Garri is not an Igbo word,stop trying too hard to link it to Igbo.
