You have three months. Use that time to arrange some basic garri equipment and those who will sell. Process your cassava to gari and sell the gari. Do not be tempted to try to sell the cassava. Middlemen will actually wait until you are in day 2 and almost at your wit's end before they come to offer you ridiculous prices.

Where I live, garri is now N450 a mudu.

My honest advice.

I will advice you process it yourself and sell. Processing into garri pays more than selling it raw . Outright sales of cassava is N127,000 per cabster in my area while processed is N233,800, a tonne of cassava goes for 22,500 and 4 tonnes of cassava gives 1.5 tonnes of processed garri.

Processing the Cassava into Garrison appears to be the general consensus.
Any idea how much a 100kg sack of Garri sells for?
I'm thinking this would make it easier to work out the price per tonne.
Thank you very much @fison.

A tonne of cassava will give 250kg of garri which is 2.5 bags. 100kg bag is sold for N22,600 while 50kg is at N11,500. Also, 3 Omolokun is equall to 50kg bag and 1 Omolokun is sold between 3,850 to 4,000. You can also ask in your area.

OP,
You have heard it all. 4 tons of cassava produces 1 ton of garri. You have 2 hectares. Assuming all factors and theoretical projections are constant, you should be getting between 20 to 40 tons of cassava, or 5 to 10 tons of garri (i.e. fifty to one hundred 100kg bags), which should fetch you N1.13m to N2.26million in sales. Of course there is the starch by-product.

Caveat: Please, all these my figures are just projections. When you actually harvest and weigh your crop, you will know how many tons of cassava you have at your disposal. Other costs will come into play as well.

Sorry I don't really get this

Based on the foregoing, I'm now looking into setting up a basic Garri processing operation.
Please I need advice on how to set this up.
1) What basic equipment do I need?
2) Where can I source them at good prices in the Offa area/Kwara state?
3) Cost profile, and any other relevant information?
4) Starch is a by product of Garri processing, how to I make money from it too?

Please, can you mentor me on having my own first cassava harvest? I have close to 20 hectares of land ready for cassava cultivation.

Can you take me from beginning to the harvest?

This fellow, you must be high on ogogoro! DID YOU NOT READ MY CAVEAT? Abi you don't understand the meaning of caveat? Or you just cannot read or are just plain dumb?
Besides have you gone to Shonga to see what the Zimbabwean farmers are doing there? Up to 50 tons per hectare. You just come to be noticed. Well, we have noticed you. Now park off my track please!

Subhanalahi, Waoo

Anyone with concrete information on the current price range of cassava per cabster in South West, Ogun State to be precise?

Please I need someone that can guide me on starch production. I am setting up a garri processing plant which is almost at completion stage. I haven't get the starch extraction aspect very well and I need detail information on this. Your kind information will be highly appreciated. Thanks
