From Abundance to Industry: Establishing Cassava Processing Plants in Ogun State​

Nigeria, the world's leading cassava producer, produced over 63 million tons of cassava in 2021, accounting for 20% of the global total, according to international agricultural statistics. However, in Ogun State, a key agricultural state, a significant amount of cassava remains unrealized due to a lack of processing.

This presents a huge opportunity. Industrial processing of abundant cassava resources can transform raw materials into higher-value products. Local company Premium Cassava Products Ltd (PCPL) has successfully implemented this approach, generating higher returns through processing cassava into garri, cassava flour and starch etc.

As a professional cassava processing partner, Henan Jinrui will help you seize this opportunity and efficiently launch your cassava processing plant business in Ogun State.

Garri processing plant

Garri is a staple food in Nigeria, and market demand remains strong. Therefore, opening a cassava processing plant for garri production in Ogun State presents a promising opportunity.

Currently, some garri processing is already underway in Ogun State, but most employ traditional methods. This method is not only inefficient but also produces inconsistent quality, making it uncompetitive in the market. If you're considering investing in a garri processing plant in the region, Henan Jinrui recommends investing in a range of cost-effective, specialized garri processing equipment, including cassava peeler, grater, presser, and garri fryer. Start small cassava processing plant and rely on equipment to improve processing efficiency and product quality, ensuring stable and high returns.

Cassava flour is a high-quality gluten-free flour and an excellent alternative to wheat flour. In Nigeria, the government is planning to reinstate a policy requiring a 20% addition of cassava flour to wheat products like bread and confectionery. This policy will create a stable and substantial growth market for cassava flour. Therefore, in addition to investing in a garri processing plant as mentioned above, building a cassava flour processing plant in Ogun State is also a wise choice.

If you plan to start a cassava flour processing business in Ogun State, purchasing professional cassava processing equipment is crucial. For example, Henan Jinrui's cassava peeler, grinder, plate-frame filter presse, flash dryer, and other equipment can help you produce cassava flour efficiently and with high quality. Furthermore, Henan Jinrui has already had successful cases in Nigeria, helping many local cassava processing companies successfully launch the cassava flour processing business.

Cassava starch processing plant

The above mentioned suggestion of opening a garri or cassava flour processing plant in Ogun State is primarily for businesses seeking to enter the cassava processing market on a limited budget. If your budget is enough, consider starting a cassava starch processing plant in Ogun State. Cassava starch has a wide range of uses in food and industrial processing, and the market demand is both large and stable. More importantly, competition in Nigeria for cassava starch processing is much less than for garri and cassava flour processing. This suggests that Ogun State holds enormous potential for cassava starch processing. Premium Cassava Products Ltd (PCPL) is a successful example.

Of course, higher returns also mean a higher starting point. Investing in a cassava starch processing plant in Ogun State requires a significant initial investment in specialized equipment. For example, Henan Jinrui offers a complete cassava starch production line (including cleaning, crushing, purification, dehydration, and drying equipment) for approximately US$100,000 to US$200,000. While the initial investment is higher than for garri and cassava flour processing, the resulting returns are substantial.
