www.garriprocessing..com you are interested going into a well-planned and effective garri processing business, then there are some things you need to consider.. 1. Land You've got no choice but to have the land. An acre (6plots) is okay for a moderate processing company... Of course it shouldn't be water logged ot the type that is not properly drained. The reason is very simple; so that you won't have yourself an unhealthy environment breeding flies and diseases due to the always wet environment. This applies mainly to those who had no intention of screeding the surrounding ground. But if u are ready to spend the money and screed the whole floor, then u're good to go. 2. The processing building: this is built on the land This is classified into two compartments; (a) the wet area (b) the dry area THE WET AREA The wet area contains necessary machine that washes the peeled cassava. Most people prefer a trough where they wash by hand. The grinder that grinds into slurry, the fermentation racks, and the hydraulic pressers. The wet area should be kept clean always. I usually recommend cheap floor tiles to enable smooth and easy cleaning. THE DRY AREA The dry area comprises of the simple machine that sieves the cassava slurry being pressed into cakes. It also contains the fryer, and the again the simple machine that sieve roasted cassava (now garri) into required grains as required. The dry area also houses the store. The stores are usually 2, one for keeping the packing sacks, and the other for storing the already packed garri ready to go out. The latter store will comprise 2 doors. One from the inside for storing, and the other outside for loading into truck. The dry area also allows the scale to found a place. The scale's use is well known to all. Toilets, borehole or a clean well, and the truck for delivery also stays outside. Some uses fence while some love the open space. Either way, there will be a shed where fresh cassava tuber are delivered and peeled by hand. You can also decide to have a cassava peeling machine. The disadvantages of these are mainly two. 1. When the body of the tuber is not regular, it doesn't peel off every skin. You will still have to pay peelers to peel the remaining. And if you have to adjust the peeling machine to peel deeper, be ready to loose most of your tubers o waste. 2. It doesn't peel the right way. Images are below 2 Likes

if you wish to set up the small kind of factory, you can contact me on slidewaxie@gmail.com i personally is a building engineer by profession, but a farmer by practice. I personally will draw up your floor plan and supervise the whole construction of the building. we have a team of practicing farmers who are graduates in this field. in this type of small scale factory, all machineries will be sourced and fabricated locally. the mechanical fryer is only necessary for larger scale and much more output.... the fermentation rack will be constructed out of hard woods. with an acre of land, this project will stand out. one doesn't necessarily need to build up the whole building in blocks or blocks or bricks, if you check the picks of the hydraulic pressers, you will notice what i am trying to say. this even allows for great ventilation needed in the factory. 1 Like

It's always better to quote your source. Here is the source. http://www.iita.org/c/document_library/get_file?uuid=757cf59b-e17a-41c5-ba2a-a5322af5e031&groupId=25357 6 Likes |

OP, you are just another copycat, lifting from several IITA documents without quoting them. The documents are found online and can be downloaded. I know everything about this business. I know about 4 companies in Nigeria which sell the mechanical fryer (costs N450,000), the large fryer tray for manual frying (costs N70,000 from NVN Limited), as well as the hydraulic presses. All those equipment are expensive and out of the reach of the local farmer. The IITA even has the layout of a modern cassava processing plan, with a floor plan of the entire structure laid out on 1 plot of land. You are not bringing anything new here. So be original and stop lifting information without quoting the source. Are you here to add value or simply to market your services (whatever they may be)? 15 Likes |

Do not worry yourself, I have just completed a training about this from IITA, so, this is not about copying at all. These were part of the electronic materials made available to us. If you must knw, the head of the cassava unit is mr. Illubey and stop worrying yourself about busting someone. You can also apply for their training either through their website or you visit personally. These are things I saw by myself because after the training we were asked to visit processing plants. And the construction will be simpler for me as a building technologist of more than 3yrs experience. I have my certificates and credentials as proof. And there is no where I talked about selling those machines here, I said it could all be sourced locally just as we have be told and shown at the training. I personally visited nova technologies at ibadan to see the machines for myself. Besides, we have our own farm we manage. 11 hectares at eweje in abeokuta, and 2hectares at iwo in Osun state. The training was part of our plan to go into modern garri production and consultancy which we have already started. So, Sir, stop worrying yourself. I am clearly offering to set up processing factories for who are interested and not those who are not. And if u say u knw abt this, I'm sure u were not born with it. Thank you 9 Likes |

if you are interested in setting up a small. Garri processing farm, please call on us. With my experience as a site supervisor, construction will be the least of your problem and I will personally supervise this. Secondly, the machines and compartment (wet and dry area) will be well positioned and drained. Machines will be sourced locally and will be installed perfectly. Please send mail to slidewaxie@gmail.com Or garriguy007@gmail.com *************** For those interested in bursting a plagiarist, calm down. I didn't say we have machines or can install it. We all knw those who sell are the ones installs. But with my training and experience, I will comfortable design and plan a standard factory for you. We also help manage farms.... We have a graduates in this field who have experience and currently on farms. You are also invited to visit our 11 hectares of cassava farm at abeokuta or 2hectares at iwo in Osun state. Thank you. Please call 07035593128 for inquiries 2 Likes

I agree with you, but obviously, they also learnt these and made correction. During training, we were made to either 1. Place our peelers on monthly basis Or 2. Place per tonnage Then the site of ur factory determines.. Labour varies according to civilization. Thanks you 1 Like |

@Buchika, have you tried Capsfeed www.capsfeed.com peeling machine. I have not used. Here is the youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkfXV0HlKWM My advice is that you pay workers based on the weight of peeled cassava not the unpeeled otherwise , the workers will waste your cassava. 1 Like |

SLIDEwaxie: thanks for the addition. Even the peeled ones with be a slight reduction is mass... The strategy is to offer to pay a little higher than what is paid for the unpeeled. |

@lagbaja I 've used a lot of methods with the casual labourers I employed which most of the time if not favorable to them before you know what hit you you 've lost much money, reason is cassava being a very perishable item after uprooting you must peel under 24 hours if you want to do garri, God save you if they don't come the day you have already uprooted due one grievance or the other, that's why you have to work on Mechanising the process. how many workers do you think if placed on a monthly wage can peel 1 ton of raw tubers daily at 15kg per hour average per worker and what will be their wage bill. 1 Like |

Cassava is not a 'very perishable' produce. Don't get misinformed. The reason why most people want it within 24hrs is not garri but for other processes like flour. But did u knw that there is a chemical u use now that even preserve it for at least 3days without loosing it's value? 2. Cassava tubers cld still use 24hrs before being processes. You will only need to reduced it's fermentation period if you wanted ther fermented ones. 3. U shld have knwn the capacity of your plant and not order more than you can process. There are cabster-trucks available for measure.... I hope that works 2 Likes 1 Share |

Please check my post, there is no where I said we have factories, I said we have cassava farms: 11 at abeokuta and 2 at ibadan. I clearly stated that we will be going into processing ourselves before harvest. We are 100% ready for that now. I'm currently at ago iwoye over a possible banana farm. Get me right Sir, I can direct you to working factories I have personally visited for more knowledge after my training.. One is at lala along old lagos abeoukta expressway.. Peak products ltd. Pls google for address. The owner is the now commissioner of agric in ogun state, and the manager's name is mr. Fatai. They are also into starch production. I have visited NOVA technologies and JITALEX in ibadan also for the machines and usages. One of the purpose for this is to see if one of our own team who currently has succeeded in creating an automatic gate will be able to reverse engineer them for lower cost, and to understand how they work. But biliv me, since the time of tapioca, I av worked with my dad on the farm and garri production is not a rocket science. You jes need to knw your capacity per day and u're in production. The same cassava mash we extract the starch for tapioca from is the same we used in garri production. Its something av done since I was a kid. My purpose now is to use my knowledge as a building technologist erect a functioning building for you, and my knowledge about the machines in setting them in the right place for optimum usage. About the chemical, pls google seyi oloyede of the popular site, Agricbusiness and you will see how to get it. Have u ever visited companies like greentech, tai farm and wondered how the heaps of cassava tubers which clearly couldn't be processed in the next few days still be viable for flour production? That's the trick...biliv me, it exists, big time. Thanks again |

Nice One @OP Thanks for bringing out what you have got inside of you. keep it up. Never mind the critics. BUT I keep thinking of why people still producing non-fortified garri with so many garri processing companies in Nigeria. Why are agro-preneurs not producing the Vitamin A- fortified garri. Are you aware of the newly Vitamin-A fortified cassava tubers from IITA? Entrepreneurs should differentiate their products by fortifying their products with Vitamin A |

Kajiang02:I biliv av answered you thru the mail u sent, but I will post same for those who are also interested.. Good day Sir,Apart from that, we know the right equipment to buy and with the layout, the right place to place them for effective usage. Second, understand that: 1. Two hydraulic pressers will go for 160,000 at most locally. 2. The fermentation racks could be constructed of hardwood because using stainless stell will be expensive. U will also need a motor-driven grater, a washing trough, grinder (for grinding into fine state if wanted), siever, locally made fryer... We can give specifications for these constructions if you have a local fabricator... The exact price, I biliv is dependent on the seller, not us. But for some rather crazy inexplicable reason, most known fabricated companies are located in Ibadan. Google NOVA technologies or nucleus ventures nigeria limited. These companies even export their machines outside the shores. Check them out pls. I hope that helps |
