Garri as one of the main daily food in West Africa countries, especially in Nigeria. Due to the high demand for garri in Nigeria, more and more people have the idea of setting up a garri processing plant in Nigeria. For compared with the other project, garri processing plant has less investment and technical requirement, but it has wide sales channel and high profits. Therefore it not only suits for local business man, but also can attract investors in other countries.

For these who want to do garri business, the first issue they concern is the cost of setting up a garri processing plant in Nigeria. To calculate the cost, we need consider the garri processing machines cost, local factory buildings establishment cost, water/electric/labour cost, and raw material cost.

How much is the cost of setting up a garri processing plant in Nigeria?

Firstly, the garri processing machines cost

The equipment cost is mainly influenced by the processing capacity, machines configuration and automatic degree. According to Doing Company's experience, if your garri processing capacity is no more than 3 tons per day, you can adopt the semi-automatic and semi-manual garri processing plant. Based on the machines configuration, the cost varies from thousands of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.

If your capacity is large, you can choose automatic processing line. Except the fermentation step, all steps are automatically finished by equipment. Its cost ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands dollars.

Of course, if you have special demands, you can contact us and tell our engineer your requests in detail, then we can make the suitable production solution and quotation for you.

Secondly, the factory establishment cost

Factory establishment cost differs according to your processing capacity, factory site, etc.. Large capacity garri processing plant requires more raw cassava, larger equipment and larger factory area, and therefore higher cost. Even the same capacity, is the same, if the factory is in different state in Nigeria, or established by different construction company, the factory buildings establish cost will be different.

You can estimate the factory establishment cost based on local conditions. Of course, Doing Company project engineer can design factory layout according to your equipment size and and factory terrain, so as to save factory area and cost for you.

Thirdly, water/electric/labour cost

These costs are essential for the smooth operation of garri processing plant, it depends on the local cost and your processing capacity. Different garri processing line consumes different water, electric and labours, you can contact DOING for detail information.

It's worth to notice that, In Nigeria, the electric supply is not good enough, so generators are often needed to run the machines. So this cost also need to be considered.

Water/electric/labour cost and material cost

Forth, raw material cost

As for the raw material(cassava) cost, it varies because of different area or different season. You can calculate this cost yourself based on your processing capacity. Based on DOING processing technology, about 3 ton fresh cassava tubers can produce 1ton of garri.

To sum up, this is the briefly analyze of the cost of setting up a garri processing plant in Nigeria. If you want to know more details, please contact us, our project manager can give you detail quotation based on your requests.
