So let’s proceed to the business planning section.

Garri is one of the most staple Nigerian diets because not only is it cheap, but it is easy to make and can be taken in majorly two ways that are fast to prepare. Those in the garri business know that this is the fastest way to make money especially in the agro processing industry.

While the business is one guaranteed to bring a lot of money for any entrepreneur, it is however not an easy business and is highly capital and labor intensive. To start this business, you would require previous experience in the field or simply carry out a thorough research that will enable you know what is needed in the course of starting and running the business.

If you do not have an inkling of how a business plan is written. That is fine because you can use an existing template to start working on yours. Below is a sample garri processing business plan that should aid you in writing your own business plan;

A Sample Garri Processing Business Plan Template

1. industry overview.

Cassava, the raw material used to make garri is a source of food to nearly three quarter of the world population. The crop is regarded as a staple diet in most developing countries in the world, and is ranked the third after rice and maize. Cassava is popular because it can grow even the poorest conditions (poor soil and inadequate rainfall).

Nigeria is the largest producer of Cassava in Africa; producing over 41 million metric tons per annum, followed closely by the Democratic Republic of Congo. Most Cassava used in Nigeria are grown in the Southern parts of the country (South West, South- south, and South East) and in the Middle Belt and are mostly used to meet domestic demands within the country.

Globally however, Thailand is the largest producer of this crop as they produce and export cassava products worth over $20 billion annually.

This therefore makes Garri one of the major products from processed cassava the staple food for almost all Nigerians, as about 75% of Cassava is processed into Garri. According to statistics, about 130 million people – both in rural and urban areas – consume 12 million tons of garri annually.

This is the reason why most entrepreneurs are going into the garri processing business especially as this product is recession proof. The recent economic downturn in the country has seen more and more people turning to Garri.

According to reports, any entrepreneur going into this business will make immense profit, as the reports show that demand for this product is not only stable but increasing even though there are few close alternatives to Garri.

Garri can be consumed in two ways – the cold process and the hot process, and while there is no substitute for the garri consumed via the cold process method, the few substitutes available for garri taken during the hot process are expensive, which leaves consumers with no alternative than to stick to garri.

Also, another factor in favor of the garri demand is the growth the population which has pushed the demand for garri and has also caused more garri processing businesses to crop up to be able to meet the growing demand.

2. Executive Summary

Koko Quality Garri Processing Ventures is a business that has been registered under the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and also legally licensed by the National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) here in Ogun State. We have also acquired the necessary licenses needed to run a plant without running afoul of the law here in Ogun State.

Our aim of starting this business is to ensure that our clients both domestic and international get processed garri of the finest quality. We intend to process for sale white garri (Ijebu and normal) and yellow garri so as to be able to cater to our teeming customers.

We know how vital it is to be located in a place that is convenient for both our customers and employees. Our garri processing plant therefore is located in a conspicuous area and close to the road, which makes the location very strategic for our suppliers and distributors as well as our customers.

This fact alone we know is enough to make us become the leading brand that we hope to become in the industry. Due to our desire to attain and retain the leadership position amongst our peers in the industry, we intend to pursue excellence both in the processing and delivery of our processed garri to customers.

Due to this fact we intend to hire and train only the best employees who will be able to deliver our vision and communicate our brand to our existing and potential customers.

We also know how valuable our customers are to us and so we intend to treat them right by offering them excellent customer service of a standard never seen before in this industry.

6. SWOT Analysis

Even though garri might be a very popular food taken by almost anyone, starting the business and becoming profitable is another ball game altogether, as this is a business that is both capital and labor intensive. Since we have the required cash in starting and operating the business, we also intend to hire the best hands that will help run the business profitably.

However, just like any business out there, we know that we have certain strengths that will ensure we become industry leaders, and several weaknesses that we would need to work on if we intend to become successful.

To this end, we hired a reputable business consultancy firm to carry out a critical examination and help us identify these traits (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) so that we might avoid certain pitfalls as a young business. Below is a of the critical SWOT analysis that was done on behalf of Koko Quality Garri Processing Ventures;

Our location in Ijebu, Ogun State is one of our greatest strengths as it means we are close to mega cities like Lagos State which is a thriving market, as well as other important states.

While most garri processing businesses focus on producing only Ijebu garri or plain white garri, we are going a step further to ensure we produce yellow garri as well, this action alone has attracted more customers to our business and give us leverage over our competitors in the same industry.

Also, in addition to our products, we offer training and consultancy services for small scale start-ups. Our other strengths lie in the fact that we have employed the best hands in the industry, who not only understand the garri business perfectly but also understand our vision and working towards it as well.

Our perceived weakness stems from the fact that we are operating in just one location which will seriously limit our vision of supplying to our target markets all over Nigeria. However, we are determined not to see this as a business, as we intend to expand as soon as we have begun making profit and are stable enough.

  • Opportunities

Due to the fact that we are amongst the first garri processing businesses to offer more than white garri, this has cemented our role in front and has led to many start-ups requiring trainings from us, which will help boost our revenue base, especially as most of them are not close competitors.

This has also led us to consider the benefits franchising might bring to us in the near future, should we continue getting requests such as these.

Our threats are not really that significant, as there are really no government policies or economic downturn to worry about, but like every business, we take all threats seriously, and intend to act proactively to reduce or eliminate the threat.

The threat facing our business will be from having a strong competitor operating same products from around the same location.

7. MARKET ANALYSIS

  • Market Trends

Garri is one of Nigeria’s staple diets and is taken in every home. If you intend starting your own garri processing business, then you will need a land where you will not only install your facility, but it must also be near as possible to your source of raw materials – which for this instance is the cassava farm.

This will help decrease the costs that will be spent on transporting your necessary raw materials from a very far location. Also, you would need to ensure that your facility is hygienic as well as conducive enough for your employees as well as the clients that would want to visit for business purposes.

A trend in the business is having several storage facilities in strategic locations all around Ogun State and Nigeria in general; this is so as to be close to customers, increase awareness about the brand and also increase patronage for the business, thereby boosting revenue.

8. Our Target Market

The target market for garri is very huge as almost every home and everyone takes this product. However, more people are likely to take one color of garri than the other depending on their location. We intend to carry out a thorough market survey that will allow us determine the quantity that would be needed to be processed for each color of garri.

Even though almost everyone takes garri in one form or the other, we are still required to market our product so as to become a preferable brand to our customers, either existing or potential. Our target market includes; households, schools, restaurants, hotels, caterers, students, single males and females.

Our Competitive Advantage

Every business that is established with the intention of making profit and intends to compete favorably with others in the industry knows that it needs to draft competitive advantage strategies that will enable it to have an upper hand over other businesses in the same industry.

Having a competitive advantage means knowing what aspects of our business are our strengths and would give us the needed advantage we would need.

One of our major competitive advantages is in our hiring or the best professionals in the industry who understands the garri processing business and has keyed into our vision of becoming the best in the agro processing industry. Our professionals will work in the best environment and have enviable welfare packages.

Also, we intend to constantly train our professionals so that their skills can be enhanced which will invariably lead to higher productivity that will be beneficial to the company in the long run. Our excellent customer service is one of our primary strength that will ensure we have competitive advantage over our competitors.

It is a well known fact that most Nigerian businesses do not invest in their customer service. However, we at Koko quality garri processing ventures know that a good customer service will increase the retention rate for our company by over 80%.

Our customer service executives are the best in the field and have a vast knowledge of garri and so will be able to inform customers, attend to requests, orders and complaints promptly and efficiently.

We intend to participate in community programs and school events as a way of getting close to our customers. We know that once customers identify with our efforts at integrating into the community through social participations, then patronage towards our business will increase.

Lastly, we intend to effectively deploy the use of the internet by using our websites and social media platforms to give customers tips and engage our customers in discourse that will further better our industry and even our customers as well.

9. SALES AND MARKETING STRATEGY

  • Sources of Income

Koko Quality Garri Ventures like any other business is established with the aim of making profit. However, our profit generation will not only come from one source as we intend to exploit other different means so as to increase the revenue base of our company.

Our main focus while diversifying will still be garri processing. Koko Quality Garri Ventures intends to generate income from the following sources;

  • Sale of processed white garri (Ijebu and normal)
  • Sale of processed yellow garri

10. Sales Forecast

While garri might be a staple diet taken by almost everyone, we are however aware of the fact that everyone cannot buy from one source, this does not mean that there aren’t garri processing businesses that have a large share of the market than others.

These businesses have certain factors going for them, chief of which is location. We therefore after having carried out various feasibility studies, have seen that our location is favorably suited to increase our sales.

Another factor in our favor is the fact that most garri processing businesses in Ogun State and around process only white garri (Ijebu and normal) which limits them to just certain segments of the market. However, our additional product (yellow garri) is guaranteed to not only enlarge our revenue base but also ensure we make enough profit to run our business without external injection of funds in the first three months.

Our sales forecast was carried out critically by a reputable business consultant that was hired for this purpose. The sales forecast is based on information gathered from other already established business and start-ups both in the garri processing industry in Ijebu, Ogun State.

Based on location, the sales projection for Koko Quality Garri Processing Ventures is stated below:

  • First Fiscal Year-: N5,500,000
  • Second Fiscal Year-: N9,000,000
  • Third Fiscal Year-: N16, 000,000

N.B: The above sales projection is totally in line with what is obtainable in the industry. The projections are also based on the fact that all factors that were considered during the analysis remain constant – such as the economy, lack of strong substitutes, and the arrival of no major competitors. Also, it is worthy to note that at any given point in time, the above projections might be higher or lower.

  • Marketing Strategy and Sales Strategy

Marketing is a very important aspect of any business, for without marketing a business can fail. Marketing has a double advantage as it not only generates revenue for the company but also ensures that awareness is created for the company directly or indirectly.

It is therefore important that marketing strategies be drafted before a business becomes operational. During the course of running the business, these strategies would need to be constantly monitored and reviewed, with the less effective strategies being dropped or modified by the Managing Director in collaboration with the marketing and sales team for the growth of the business.

At Koko Quality Garri Ventures, we intend to ensure that we adopt several marketing strategies towards ensuring that our existing customers are aware of our drive towards success. Also, our sales strategies will be done in such a way as to ensure we penetrate the market, therefore creating a wider reach.

To achieve this, we intend to ensure that we develop just the right strategies that will not only keep our loyal customers glued to us but also attract new customers as well. Some of the marketing sales strategies that we intend to use are:

  • Place adverts in local newspapers as well as in local radio stations about our garri
  • Visit markets and introduce Koko quality garri to garri traders (wholesalers and retailers)
  • Throw a unique opening launch party that will attract interest
  • Use our official website to vigorously promote our garri processing business
  • Empower our marketing and sales team to positively push and better communicate our brand to customers
  • Create unique and engaging handbills and distribute them in strategic locations
  • Engage in one on one marketing
  • Encourage our loyal customers to refer us to others
  • Mae use of our social media platforms to promote our products and services

11. Publicity and Advertising Strategy

Due to the fact that almost everyone takes garri, there have sprung up many garri processing businesses all striving to get a share of the market.

Even though we believe that our products and services are uniquely different from that of our competitors, we still believe that we would need an intense publicity so as to ensure increased customer awareness and also increase our earnings therefore solidifying our spot amongst the leading brands in this industry.

We know how important it is however for us to ensure that we are well known in Ijebu, Ogun State before spreading our wings and expanding to other states and invariably, the whole of Nigeria.

Therefore, most of our publicity and advertising strategies would first be focused on Ogun State where we not only intend to increase awareness about our products and services to existing and potential customers but also ensure that our activities leave our business etched in the mind of the public.

Some of the platforms we intend to use in publicizing and advertising our garri processing business include;

  • Using our van in road shows to tell people in targeted areas about our products and services
  • Placing adverts in local newspapers and on radio stations
  • Distributing fliers and legally posting same in strategic points
  • Sponsoring school and community relevant activities
  • Creating a website and using the platform to increase awareness of our existence
  • Using social media platforms such as Facebook to promote our products and services as well as engage our audience
  • Use recognized holidays to organize socially relevant programs
  • Ensure that all our staff wear customized tee shirts that will allow customers know of our business
  • Create a unique logo and slogan that can be easily remembered by existing and even potential clients

12. Our Pricing Strategy

Setting the right price for a product is very important as this can either draw more customers to one’s business or make them go to over to competition instead.

Garri is priced depending on the quantity that is bought by the customer. We intend to have different pricing options for our bulk buyers and our normal buyers. We do not intend to charge higher than what our competitors are currently offering neither do we intend to charge too low so as not to cause an unnecessary price war.

Our pricing will also be done in such a way that all our costs – overhead and running expenses – are adequately covered, so that we do not run at a loss. We would however consider selling a bit lower than current market price in our first few months of operation, so as to attract more customers to our business.

  • Payment Options

At Koko Quality Garri Venture, we intend to ensure that we have a payment policy that caters to all our different customers regardless of the category. Our payment options are in line with the financial regulations of the Ogun State government and that of Nigeria as a whole.

The payment options that we intend to make available to our teeming customers include;

  • Payment via Point of Sale (POS) Machine
  • Payment via Cheques
  • Payment via Cash
  • Payment via Bank Transfer
  • Payment via Bank Draft

Because we always have the convenience of our customers in mind, we have carefully chosen platforms with our ban which has a great reputation that will ensure that our products and services are paid for without stress to either us or our customers.

13. Startup Expenditure (Budget)

Setting a budget before a business becomes operational is very vital. The budget allows an entrepreneur know what exactly would be required for the business to become successful and where to allocate resources to.

While it might be in one’s favor to find out what the general start-up budget is for this kind of businesses, it is also pertinent to note that our own budget might eventually be lower or higher depending on several factors such as location, existing government policies and economic conditions.

However, since our intention is to start on with low costs when necessary, we intend to ensure that some of the equipment we would need to use are gotten at fairly used. We do not intend to get the main processor as fairly used as we want something that would last us for a very long time.

Some of the requirements we would need to fulfill in order to successfully start our garri processing business are;

  • Fees for incorporation and other legal requirements – N100,000
  • Obtaining of licenses and permits as well as accounting software – N150,000
  • Insurance coverage (general liability, property insurance and workers’ compensation) – N50,000
  • Facility rent for a year and renovation – N350,000
  • Operational cost for at least three months (employees’ salary, bills payments) – N250,000
  • Cost of purchasing and installing garri processing equipment – N3,000,000
  • Cost for start-up inventory (Cassava, Palm Oil) – N800,000
  • Cost of storage facilities (racks, ventilation) – N100,000
  • Cost of hiring business consultant – N50,000
  • Cost of fairly used distribution van – N800,000
  • Other start-up expenses (furniture, phone, computer, printers, stationeries) – N200,000
  • Marketing budget (for promoting launch activities and the business generally for at least a year) – N150,000
  • Cost of launching a website – N30,000
  • Cost of garri processing plant launch – N50,000
  • Miscellaneous – N50,000

Based on the above estimate, we would require at least N3.2 million in order to successfully start and run a standard garri processing plant in Ijebu, Ogun State. The amount accounts for all expenses for at least three months to a year, which includes employee’s salaries and other operating expenses.

Generating Funding/Startup Capital for Koko Quality Garri Processing Business

Having the required start-up capital for any business you intend starting is very essential. Any entrepreneur who does not have the capital necessary to start a business might see his business idea remaining just a dream and not becoming a reality.

The necessity of having finance is also necessary so that the business can run smoothly, and generate enough money to fully run itself.

Koko Quality Garri Ventures is a business owned by the Lateef family, an entrepreneurial family with businesses in various industries. This has always been regarded as one family business that do not intend to source for external investors. However, due to growth and expansion plans, we intend sourcing for capital from just two sources.

The areas which we intend to source for start-up capital for our business includes;

  • Sourcing for loans from family members
  • Sourcing for loans from Micro-finance bank

N.B: Having been able to generate N3.2 million from family members, we were able to get approval for the sum of N3,000,00 from a reputable micro-finance bank with a good interest rate and repayment option that will not stifle the growth or our business.

14. Sustainability and Expansion Strategy

Every established business’ aim is to make enough profit that will sustain the company and also ensure that growth and expansion takes place. However, before we can make this profit, we know that certain factors need to be in place to ensure that we have a chance at sustainability.

The reason why most businesses exist is because of its customers, as without having any customers, one’s business might not only remain stagnant but fail in the end, because customers inject money into the business that will keep it running.

Due to this fact, we intend to ensure that we treat our customers right by ensuring we promptly attend to their requests, orders and complaints. We also intend to ensure that our loyal customers and those who refer us are given discounts on certain quantity of garri they buy from us.

Having customers isn’t enough, but hiring the right people into the right positions is also paramount to us. Our employees will not only be professionals with vast experience, we also intend to ensure that they have the best welfare package necessary to improve their productivity, and also the best training to enhance their skills and make them better than their peers in the same industry.

Aside having the required start-up capital necessary to start the business, we know that if the above factors are correctly done, we will be successful at not only sustaining the business and also expanding the business in the long run as well.

The target market for Garri is very huge as almost every home and everyone takes this product. However, more people are likely to take one color of garri than the other depending on their location. We intend to carry out a thorough market survey that will allow us determine the quantity that would be needed to be processed for each color of garri.

Even though almost everyone takes garri in one form or the other, we are still required to market our product so as to become a preferable brand to our customers, either existing or potential.

Our target market includes;

• Households • Schools • Restaurants • Hotels • Students • Single males and females.

SALES AND MARKETING STRATEGY

At Johnson Quality Garri Ventures, we intend to ensure that we adopt several marketing strategies towards ensuring that our existing customers are aware of our drive towards success. Also, our sales strategies will be done in such a way as to ensure we penetrate the market, therefore creating a wide reach.

FINANCIAL PLAN Pricing strategy

Setting the right price for a product is very important as this can either draw more customers to ones business or make them go to over to competition instead.

Garri is priced depending on the quantity that is bought by the customer. We intend to have different pricing options for our bulk buyers and normal buyers.

Payment Options

At Johnson Quality Garri Ventures, we intend to ensure that we have a payment policy that caters to all our different customers regardless of the category. Our payment options are in line with financial regulations of the Edo State government and that of Nigeria as a whole.

The payment options we intend to make available to our teeming customers include:

• Payment via point of Sale (POS) machine • Payment via Cheques • Payment via Cash • Payment via Bank Transfer • Payment via Bank Draft

Startup Costs

Total sum of estimated amount of ₦3,200,000 (₦3.2 million) will be needed to start – up our Johnson Quality Garri Venture business (including the salary of our employees for the first three months).

Sources of Capital

₦1,600,000 of the total startup cost will be generated by the Johnson (from their personal savings and investments).

The other part will be gotten by securing a loan from the family bank as well as obtaining soft loans from friends and relatives.

SALES FORECAST

Haven carried out a feasibility and viability study and a market survey, we have been able to make a sales forecast for our Johnson Quality Garri Business for the next few years.

For the first three years, the following is the estimate of what we stand to realized:

• First Fiscal Year: ₦5,500,000 • Second Fiscal Year: ₦9,000,000 • Third Fiscal Year: ₦16,000,000

N.B: The above sales projection is totally in line with what is obtainable in the industry.

The projections are also based on the fact that all factors that were considered during the analysis for this Garri processing business plan remain constant – such as the economy, lack of strong substitutes, and the arrival of no major competitors.

INTRODUCTION

There is no doubt that one of the biggest problems confronting our nation today is unemployment. It is the root cause of poverty, youth restiveness, gangstarism, bank robbery, outlandish assassinations, lawlessness, kidnapping and all sorts of deviant behaviours.

The number of unemployed youths is mind-boggling and among them are over five million young boys and girls with NYSC discharge certificates roaming about the nooks and crannies of the country searching for jobs that do not exist.

The situation is not totally hopeless because governments, communities and civil society organizations are coming up with strategies that can alleviate poverty and empower rural folks by creating wealth. Some of them are Improved Gari Production Plants, Cottage Industries, and Entrepreneurship etc.

Business ideas on cassava processing 

We encourage state governments, Local Governments, Community Development Bodies and others to join in the task of creating jobs by establishing and expanding projects in their localities that will use local raw materials in creating wealth and jobs.

Cassava is God’s gift to the tropics because it can grow in poor soil with inadequate rainfall. The starchy roots of cassava are major source of food for more than 700 million people all over the world. It ranks third in order of staple food crops in developing countries after rice and maize. It is called Manic in French, Tapioca in Latin America, Mandioca in Portuguese and Yucca in Spanish. It has universal applications.

Nigeria is the world largest producer of Cassava. We produce over 41 million metric tones per annum and we are followed by Brazil, Thailand, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo), and Indonesia. Thailand does the largest global business in cassava because it is not part of their food security. They export over $20 billion worth of cassava products annually.

Nigeria has tried to expand the local cassava business through the Composite Flour Initiative and the Cassava Empowerment Fund but so far, they have attained little or no success. Cassava is produced in all the Southern and Middle Belt States of Nigeria.

It is produced from Cassava Tubers and is the commonest stable food in Nigeria consumed by over 130 million people. We consume about 7.7 million tons of gari per year and it comes to about 30.7 million tons of our cassava production.

This shows that about 75 percent of our cassava out put is consumed as staple while only 25 percent is used as raw materials for starch, chips, pellets and flour which are industrial raw materials that can be exported. Our actual annual demand for gari is 12 million tons but to accomplish this, the production facilities must be improved and up graded and Cassava Product must also improve.

Our population grows at the rate of 3.5 percent annually and this means that the food capacity must also grow commensurately. Gari is produced in the rural areas by local women and the process is full of drudgery and stress thus most of them are giving up the trade and the younger ones are not interested because they prefer life in the cities. The modern Gari Processing Plant is designed to fill this void.

4. EQUIPMENT AND PRICE

The heart of this Modern Gari Processing Plant is the Roasting or Frying Pot which is made of Stainless Steel and insulated with fiberglass to absorb heat from the fire. It is powered by 2HP gear motor that rotates the paddles that continuously turn the frying gari mash. The full lists of the equipment are:

1 (NO) Stainless Steel; HAMMER Mill with 15 HP Electric Motor Capacity – 1 ton / hr. 4 (NO) Fermentation Racks 4 (NO) Hydraulic Jack (Mechanical) Press Capacity 1 ton / hr. 1 (no) Stainless CAKE Granulator with 7.5 HP, Motor, 1 ton / hr. 2 (NO) Gari Roasting / frying Pot with 2 HP Gear Motor, Exhaust Pipe and can be fired with Firewood, Charcoal etc. 2 tons / day.

4.1 PRODUCTION CAPACITY

The Hammer Mill or the Cassava Grating Machine and the Granulating Machine have capacities of 1 ton per hour.

This means that within one day of 8 hours, they will process 8 tons of cassava mash. The two frying machines will then roast or fry them into two tons of gari or 40 bags of 50kg per day. Four tons of cassava tubers produce one ton of gari. The capacity of the plant is therefore 2 tons of gari or 40 bags of 50kg per day of 8 hours. Output will increase if production hours increase.

4. 2 THE PRICE OF THE PLANT

The price of the plant is N5 million (Five Million Naira). It is rugged, resilient and made of stainless steel to satisfy both SON and NAFDAC requirements. It reduces drudgery and stress which are the bane of local gari production.

The gari has moisture content of 10 percent, sand of less than 1 percent and hydrocyanic acid of less than 10 percent.

The shelf life is over six months and the gari is hygienic and free of microbial contamination and infestations.

5. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE

80 percent of the price will be paid at commissioning, 10 percent after delivering, and before installation and 10 percent after installation and test run.

Civil works for the mounting of the machines and electrical connections will be the responsibility of the client.

Delivery Period: Delivery of the machines shall be 8 weeks from the payment of the 80 percent and the clearing of the cheque.

Transportation: The transportation will be born by the client. We envisage that one 911 truck or 20 feet container can carry one plant.

Installation: Our technicians will install and test run the plant. The client will provide the central gear switch of about 100 amps, motor starters and gear switches. We will do the bases for the hammer mill and the granulator but the client will provide the materials. It will take a maximum of 1- 2 weeks if the electrical connections, water, power etc are in place. The client will take care of their accommodation, transportation, feeding etc. The production space should be about 200 squaremeters and frying pots should be located in a well ventilated location.

Test run: About 5 tons of cassava tubers shall be required for the test run and it will be provided by the client.

Training and commissioning: Your operators: Technician (1), welder (1) and electrician (1) will be trained during the installation. They are therefore encouraged to participate in the installation and commissioning.

Warranties: 6 months for any production problem excluding changeable parts affected by aging, misuse and accidents.

Technical support: Supply of spare parts at short notice, maintenance, quality control to ensure standard and consultancy services when needed.

Validity: This quotation is valid for 90 days from the date of submission after which the price may change.

6. PROFITABILITY OF THE PROJECT

6.1 Assumptions

1. The conversion rate of tubers to processed gari is 4 tons of cassava tubers to 1 ton of gari. 2. That 1 ton of cassava tuber delivered to the plants is N 5,000 per ton. 3. That the other costs of production are not more than 50 percent of the cost of cassava tuber .i.e. 50% of N 20, 0000 which is N 10,000. 4. That the selling price of one 50kg bag of gari is N5,000

6.2 Profit forecast

2 Tons per day of 8 hrs N Cassava tubers (8 tons x N5,000) 40,000 Other costs of production (50%) 20,000 Net profit per day 20,000 Profit per year (working 6 days Per week or 313 days in a year (313 x N20,000) N 6,260, 000

The project will retire all debts after the first year of operation and return a profit of about N 1,260,000. This shows that it is viable and feasible. It can also retire the debt within six months if it operates on two shifts per day. 7. OTHER APPLICATIONS OF THE PLANT

The plant can also be used in processing unripe plantain flour which is consumed mostly by diabetic patients. About 15 percent of our populations are diabetic and the number is increasing rapidly because of our eating habits.

Most states that produce cassava also produce plantain. Plantain is manually peeled, grated in the hammer mill and pressed in the hydraulic jack to dewater it. It is then granulated, roasted and finally milled again in the hammer mill to reduce it to the appropriate particle size. The demand for hygienically produced plantain flour is high because doctors often prescribe it for patients. It does not contain carbohydrate. It also has high export potential.

Garri processing Plants can also incorporate it in their activities to maximize profit during the plantain season. The unripe plantain must not be more than four days old before it is processed.

8. CONCLUSIONS

The plant is robust and versatile and will help in creating employment in the rural areas while enhancing the availability of gari. It will reduce the drudgery and stress in gari production and will also attract unemployed graduates to gari processing.

The profitability is impressive since it can retire all debts within the first year of operation and return a net profit at N1.26 million profitability will also increase if the shifts are increased. The plant can also be used in processing unripe plantain flour.

It is highly recommended to state governments, local Government and community Development Agencies who should use it in poverty alleviation, rural empowerment, employment creation and revenue generation.

How To Start Garri Processing And Packaging Business In Nigeria

Garri is a popular staple food in Nigeria. Most people eat it every day, and the demand for it is high and steady. Additionally, garri is also a popular food item among Nigerians in the diaspora, creating an opportunity for export. Garri’s market is also helped by the growing need for ready-to-eat and quick foods, which has led to the creation of packaged and processed Garri products. The garri processing and packaging industry in Nigeria is quite big and presents an important business opportunity for creative and young entrepreneurs in the country.

Here are the steps to starting a garri processing and packaging business in Nigeria.

Table of Contents

Develop a Business Plan

A business plan is the first and most important step in launching any successful business, and it can help you with the following:

  • Do Market Research: It is important to do thorough market research to learn as much as possible about the industry, target market, consumer needs, and competition. 
  • It helps to understand your target market, which includes households both in Nigeria and in the diaspora, their demographics, and their purchasing abilities.
  • You understand customer needs and preferences, including packaging, flavor, and product quality.

Our ready-made business plan helps with creating a solid business plan for your organisation. Get it here .

Obtaining Capital

You need capital to start and run a successful business. Thinking of going into any business without the required capital is a step that will end in failure. Having said that, you need to identify potential sources of capital, which include:

  • Your personal savings
  • Support from family and friends
  • loans from commercial banks
  • government grant
  • Partnership

Apart from your personal funds, it will be difficult to convince anybody to provide funds for your business if you can’t explain how they will be used and possibly the benefits of investing in such a business. That’s why you need a business plan; it will help you convince people to provide the needed funds for the business.

A business plan also clarifies the roadmap for the operation of the business, which will likely increase your chances of getting funding.

Our Garri Business Plan with 3 Years Fiancial Projections will help you

Setup The Production Facility

You need a production facility, and you must identify a good location for it. Here are some important tips that will help you:

  • Your production facility must be located where it is easy to access raw materials.
  • Close to the target market.
  • You will need to identify and purchase the required equipment for production or consider renting or leasing.
  • Hire and train the right employees that will assist in the production and also identify clear job roles.

Procurement and Processing of Raw Materials

Casava is the raw material for garri processing and packaging, and you can source it from cassava farms and reputable dealers. You need to establish a good relationship with your suppliers for the sake of good prices and timely delivery of the materials.

To ensure your final products meet the quality standard, you must follow the required processing procedure using the right machinery and highly trained staff.

Packaging and Distribution

Once your Garri product is ready, the next step is to invest in quality packaging so that it can be attractive to your customers, pass the necessary information, and protect the products. Make sure the packaging has your company’s name, logo, and contact information, as well as details about the product, such as its weight, ingredients, and expiration date.

After packaging, your garri must be stored in a clean, dry warehouse with the proper temperature and humidity to protect the quality and keep it fresh. Also, the storage facility must always be in good condition to prevent the products from spoiling.

Distribution is next; this is very critical, and without it, your Garri won’t get to market or establish contact and relationships with supermarkets, stores, and whole-traders that may be interested in your products. Make sure you establish agreements and terms with your distributors, including, pricing, minimum order quantity, and payment terms.

Once you have agreements with the distributors, it’s time to ensure the products get to them. You can hire a logistics company to handle this, rent a delivery vehicle, or setup one in-house.

marketing and Promotion

Without good marketing and promotion, nobody will know you and eventually buy from you. Your business plan will help you identify your target market and create the right marketing strategy.

You can utilise both online and offline marketing techniques to promote your product, and the following tips will help you:

  • Leverage social media marketing.
  • Get your own business website and invest in SEO to gain visibility and drive organic traffic.
  • Create and publish regular, unique, and engaging content on the blog section of your website.
  • Invest in paid advertisement campaigns. With a minimum of $5 per day, you can reach thousands of people on both Google, Facebook, and Instagram.
  • Invest in influencer marketing.
  • Advertise on radio, TV, magazines, and newspapers if your company has the capacity.

Garri processing and packaging is a profitable business venture, and if you do it well enough, it can open doors to endless daily cashflow, making you a millionaire within a few years. But you need the right knowledge and strategy to be successful, which is why we created this blog post for you.

Cassava is a very important food crop that is capable of providing food security. However, a lot of problems prevent the development and use of modern equipment for its production. Most of the cassava produced still comes from peasant farmers who depend on manual tools for their field operations and these farmers have made Nigeria the world's largest producer of the crop. An increase in production of cassava to sustain the world food security needs improved machinery to allow its continuous cultivation and processing. Reasons for the low success recorded in the mechanization of cassava harvesting and processing were traced, and the attempts that have been made in the recent past by various engineers in Nigeria researching towards achieving mechanized harvesting and processing of cassava are well explained. The machinery required for cassava production in Africa, the development of new machines, and the need for more research and development in harvesting and processing machineries, which can reduce poverty worldwide and make food available and accessible for all, are also discussed. Research efforts made and the challenges facing the engineers, farmers, scientists and food processors towards achieving mechanical harvesting and processing of cassava are presented. Breeding a cassava variety with a regular shape for easy mechanization is one solution that could help the engineers worldwide.

Abstract Improper management of solid wastes and problems of pollution have been the bane of life of many urban community residents in Nigeria. Waste generation is an inevitable fact of living. With increase in population and industrial activities come the increase in waste generation. One of such industries is the agro-food processing industries. In Nigeria, cassava is a food item predominantly processed, being a starchy staple food crop which can be converted into myriads of edible and industrial raw materials. Recognising the importance of cassava food crop and its growing production rate in Ibadan, south-western Nigeria, this study focused on evaluating the cassava production activities in six selected cassava processing sites in the city. The cassava roots delivery rates, the waste generation rates, waste composition, cassava processing energy needs and the attitudes of the people towards cassava waste management were some of the issues investigated. Results showed that the percentage and composition of solid waste (Peels and bagasse) and liquid waste generated during cassava processing depends on the nature of the final product and this varied also according to market demand of products. Fufu (cooked cassava paste after fermentation) produced more liquid waste and baggase than cassava starch and garri (toasted cassava granules). Fufu was produced more frequently than other products due to its much-reduced production cost and high market demand as compared to other products. It was found out that all of the solid wastes produced were organic in nature and can be recycled, recovered and reused. Between 25 – 30% of the cassava peels and bagasse were utilized as feedstock for livestock (goat and pigs) while the remaining 70 – 75% of cassava peels, bagasse and waste effluent were discharged indiscriminately into nearby bushes and water bodies. The only source of energy for processing fufu and garri is firewood which is usually obtained from cutting down forest trees. The study came up with a low-cost, sustainable strategy to provide an alternative renewable energy source to firewood which will also ensure a proper solid waste management for the cassava processing industries.

Structured questionnaire were used to collect data bothering on the objectives of the study. The results showed that garri processing is profitable in the study area with average profit value of N23,914. Furthermore, among the constraints to garri processing were inadequate rawmaterials,highhlabourrcostanddpoorraccessstoocredit.Policiesthatwilllenhanceeprocessors'accessstoocredits and raw materials should be formulated. INTRODUCTION Cassava is a major root crop grown for food, cash and raw materials for agro allied firms in form of starch, alcohol and among others. It is the second most important staple crop after maize in terms of calories consumed (Nweke, 2004). Nigeria is the highest producer of cassava in the world with annual production of 38.179 million metric tons (IITA, 2005; Onwumere, 2010). Post-harvest deterioration is a major problem with the crop and tackling this problem will open the crop potentials in fighting poverty. FAO (2004) reported that amongst the ways to overcome the aforesaid problem is through processing. Processing has the capability of reducing the bulkiness of the crop, reduction in transportation costs, extends shelf life as well as adding value to the products (Anyaegbulam, 2010). In Nigeria among the major staples, cassava can be processed into, garri is the most popular and indispensable staple food (Mensa, 2002). The reasons include it is ready to eat, storable and easily processed to conform to the organoleptic preference of the consumers (FAO, 2004). Statistics on garri consumption according to Anyaegbulam (2010) reported that approximately 28.41 million people and 31% of Nigerian community consume garri once, twice and thrice daily respectively. Cassava is processed into garri at village levels by variety of small scale methods using graters, millers and pressers. Nevertheless, these processors are beset with problems bothering on climatic factors, inadequate raw materials, high cost of labour, firewood problems, especially during rainy season, high energy costs. Others are poor access to credit, high cost of machine spare parts and competition among processors (Ezedinma and Otti, 2001; FAO, 2004). The study tends to examine the profitability of the enterprise and the constraints confronting garri processors.

The Financial Considerations of Starting a Garri Processing Business

Starting a garri processing business can be a lucrative venture, but it is important to consider the financial implications before taking the plunge. The initial costs of setting up a garri processing business can be significant, and it is important to have a clear understanding of the financial requirements before beginning.

The first step in setting up a garri processing business is to purchase the necessary equipment. This includes a grinding machine, a sieving machine, a packaging machine, and other necessary tools. Depending on the size of the business, the cost of these items can range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. Additionally, the cost of renting or purchasing a space to house the business should also be taken into account.

The cost of raw materials is another important factor to consider. Garri is made from cassava, and the cost of purchasing cassava can vary depending on the season and the location. It is important to research the cost of cassava in the area where the business will be located in order to ensure that the business is profitable.

The cost of labor is also an important factor to consider. Depending on the size of the business, it may be necessary to hire employees to help with the production process. The cost of wages and benefits should be taken into account when calculating the cost of labor.

Finally , it is important to consider the cost of marketing and advertising. This includes the cost of creating a website, printing promotional materials, and advertising in local newspapers and magazines. These costs can add up quickly, so it is important to have a clear understanding of the budget before beginning.

By taking the time to consider the financial implications of starting a garri processing business, entrepreneurs can ensure that their venture is successful and profitable.
