boluwajokosegun:@boluwajokosegun you re welcome, you re right, there is a need to brainstorm on cassava business, but then it is important to look at the value chain and identify the best that suits you, a good producer might not be a good processor meaning you can produce cassava very cheap but won't be able to process cheap. if we can brainstorm on how one can cultivate a hectare of cassava that yields at least 20 tons of tubers with 80000 eighty thousand naira, which I believe is very possible you ll make enough profit that ll stop you from thinking how much the processor is making, then we have to brain storm on how to be able to process at small scale level. all the same you made a very good suggestion |

FarmTech:just visit your state ministry of agriculture and ask for adp office you ll be guided more on how to get an extension officer . each variety of cassava tubers has different moisture contents. the higher the moisture content the better for industrial starch purpose. and less moisture better for garri |

any body in the east that has cassava should go to NSM ULI IHIALA LGA ANAMBRA STATE. I assure you you can't meet their demand no matter the size of your farm (NSM =Nigeria Starch Mill) 6 Likes |

boluwajokosegun:ten permanent staffs cannot process 250kg of garri manually from uprooting to frying in a day, remember the moment you uproot the tuber it starts to deteriorate, you must finish the peeling under 12 hours if you want white garri. bro either you sell tubers to garri making village women or you sell to big time processors like NSM Uli. either you do very micro scale cassava processing or very big time processing like NSM, there is no room for small or medium scale cassava processing as of now. the converting ratio is 4 tons of cassava tuber = 1 ton of garri 1 Like |

as an experienced cassava farmer my advice to anyone who want s to go into commercial cassava farming is make sure your farmland is tractorable that's it's well destumped, minimise manual labour to the least possible, make sure your farmland access is motorable, be friendly with your state ADP extensions officers, know your market target, if it's only for garri, cultivate the best local variety, but if it's for starch go for all these TME419 or IITA improved variety. if you want to process commercial also and you don't have an efficient peeling system forget it you won't make it. the reason village women makes profit is they do all the processing themselves they pay no one from uprooting to frying, they pay only for grating and pressing which is very very insignificant. 1 Like |

FarmTech:bro I 've seen all those contraption, apart from that thing that looks like knife non of the so called machine is workable. I have visited and searched all over Nigeria and online also for a peeler, gone to all the agricultural research institute in Nigeria there is none. remember I am still a small scale processor and I am looking for something to give me like 2-3 tons per hour. I saw something I believe that's workable on the internet from Brazil but it's something I can't afford cos the capacity is very high. |

fayahsoul:yea it's motorable but not the best of roads. it's 911 Mercedes truck that evacuate s my harvest. it's still manageable. for me farming land is not the problem at all. ask around. |

Agriculture / Re: Anambra Farmers, Let's Meet Here by Buchika: 4:40pm On Aug 05, 2014 |
FarmTech:my brother I engage village women who charge 600 naira per wheel barrow and they peel with knives. it took almost 4 days for me to process 3 tons of cassava to finish product. the labour cost is mind blowing. that's why I am looking for a small scale peeler that can peel at even 90% efficient rate but I am yet to get one. I got something from futa akure back then but I realised after installation that it's crap, the village women is way faster than the machine and it chop the cassava tuber thereby wasting it and on top of that I 've to fuel it. brother it's a very long story. 1 Like |
