The rural small holders farmers are complaining of no market for their cassava. The main user of cassava eg the distilleries, starch processors are complaining of no raw material. What could have been the issue? The Distilleries and other cassava factories are in need of cassava with high starch content to produce starch. The farmers, majority whom are smallholders are planting the low starch contents of Agbagba, Oko Iyawo etc. The lower starch contents of cassava are mainly used in the production of garri, akpu or fufu and tapioca.Hence the market is vwry small For farmers to have more productivity in terms of tonnage yield, market access and more money in their pockets, theirs need to experiments with new variety The new variety is TME 419. It gives higher tonnage and higher starch contents The yield can be up to 20 -40 tonnes per hectare depending on management This variety is still limited in circulation. Its only few farmers that have access to it and is already using it. This is the preferred variety in all the cassava using factories. I will therefore encourage the would be farmers to seek for the better variety when ever they wants to plant. A bundle of TME can be purchased for N400. 60 bundles will be required for an hectare. You can get the link through IITA or the farmers that has bought from IITA or some source For the markets of cassava of high starch contents, Thai farm in Ososa,Green Tech in Agbara and lots more Cassava are sold according to starch content. Walk into any of the companies with the sample of freshly extracted cassava, the test will be carried out right there and you know at what price to supply per tonnage 4 Likes |

The sellers of Vegetables like Tomato, Ata rodo, Tatase, Sombo usually buys from the popular mile 12 market in Lagos. Most of their location are far from the market. The women will gladly buy from other source that will reduce the cost of transportation and at a better price. We need individuals that will get in touch with the Vegetable sellers in their environment. Lets say you discuss with 50 pepper sellers that each buys 3 small basket of tomatoes. The total need for the group will be 150 basket. We will supply the 150 basket to your doorstep on the agreed day The women each come with their basket pick since they have been informed. We pay you 10% of the transaction on each basket. Lets assume a basket is sold for N1000. 10% of 1000 gives 100. For 150 basket your commission will be 15000 One can start with N100 basket. We supply as you demand. Be your own boss. Lets create job Be your own boss. 2 Likes |

fm7070: Please, is this TME 419 cassave breed good for making garri.TME is not good for garri. It has higher starch content. Your target for TME should be the processing factory. Use our local factories if you aim is cassava. Please don't just plant because everyone is planting. Be sure of your target market. Do your home work. 1 Like |
