Development and future of the cassava flour processing industry

According to a survey report jointly conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, especially after the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the demand for food has increased dramatically around the world. In Africa, cassava is one of the major crops, and more and more people are getting involved in setting up cassava processing plants, including the production of gari, cassava flour, cassava fufu powder, cassava starch, and so on. Among them, the cassava flour processing industry is very promising.

1. Development of the cassava flour processing industry

Most parts of the world still mainly use wheat flour as a raw material to make bread, etc. In fact, for friends in Africa, cassava flour can be used as a substitute. It can also save money and add flavor. In some countries like Cameroon, local governments publish policies that encourage people to add 10% cassava flour instead of wheat flour to make bread. In addition, cassava flour is used in the production of cookies, ethanol, and other food products. Therefore, cassava flour has a large sales market.

2. Analysis of Cassava Flour Processing Industry

When you want to invest in the cassava flour processing industry, you should first do a basic financial analysis. We need to consider several factors: the cost of raw materials of cassava, running costs, and the price of the final flour, based on which we can calculate how much profit can be made from the production of cassava flour.

According to the information we have received from our customers in Africa, the price of a ton of flour is about $600, while the price of a ton of cassava tubers is about $70-80. Usually, 3-4 tons of cassava tubers can produce 1 ton of flour. This means that the gross profit from producing one ton of cassava flour is about $300. After subtracting the running costs, we can arrive at a net profit. Running costs include water, electricity, and labor. If you can tell us the price of water, electricity, and labor wages in your area, we can help you do a profit analysis.
