UPDATE: 12th October, 2020.


Last week Tuesday, I spoke with a local garri processor about the current situation of the Garri Business.

He was happy to share his views. His garri business is a family affair. They (the family) farms cassava, but not enough to meet their production targets, so they also purchase cassava from other farmers in the area.

They buy loaded *Trucks* of harvested cassava at the local farmers market or directly from a farm. They also buy *Chains* of cultivated cassava plots, harvest themselves, and process.

This year has been particularly good for him and his family. The market price has been consistently high (about 100% higher than previous years), since the onset of the Pandemic in the Country, and subsequent Nationwide lockdown.

They average about 5 to 6 *Big Basins* per week.
A basin of garri is currently sold at about N8,000± in this area.

Pictures below shows his family Processing Cassava (Peeling, Washing and Bagging), before taking to the cassava mill for grinding.

basin is still N5-6k in benue state as of yesterday market.

OP, pls how many paint buckets (custard) of gari can one find in 100kg bag. How much is a bag?

Pls post your number; I need to get a bag too

• A 100kg bag of Garri consists of roughly 2 basins

• It takes roughly 13 Custard paint buckets to fill a Basin of Garri.

• You'll get about 26 Custard paint buckets in a 100kg Bag of Garri.

Prices vary a little bit every market day (every forth day).

My journey: Starting Up a Garri Business Empire. [Live Journal]

20th of September, 2020

I've always wanted to do this. Tell my story as-I-live-it, honestly, regardless of the outcome.


My PURPOSE:
Inspire self and others, learn and teach, meet partners and collaborators. Have fun.
My Ultimate goal is to build a Food Import and Export Business.


My REASON is simple: Make More Money.
*Plentyyy Filthyyy Sexyyy Moneyyy*

I earn some. I need more. 'Me too' want to buy Ferraris for my 'Shildrenn'... And I want to do it legally (Veryyy Importanter)


REFLECTIONS:
Everyone thinks the country is now hard like Oluma-Rock. But no one remembers if it was ever soft like Agege-bread.

To survive in Naija, two sources of income is no longer enough. You need at least three. And a fourth, if you want to live comfortably.

You hear stories-that-touch like:
* She has an MBA, but currently learning Hairdressing.
* He was the best graduating student in his Department, but is now a Security guard.
* She read Microbiology, but now sells wig, makeup and bleaching cream on Facebook.
* He got a First Class in Law School, but is currently a Charge-and-bail Lawyer, and part-time Bus Conductor.
* He studied Medicine and Surgery, but now sells face masks and hand sanitizer at Mararaba Market.

The same Government that told your parents, who are farmers, to send you to school so you could get a white collar job, is now telling you, a graduate, to go back to farm.

Fortunately for me, I studied Agriculture.

Awaiting your update after how many years...

Can't believe this thread died like this
It could have given more insight to the garri production business. If you can come back to this. I and others that are to come in future will appreciate it. May you never come down Op. More feathers to your wings.
