Construction and Economic Analysis of Establishing Cassava Processing Plant in Africa

-

Cassava serves as a staple crop for over 500 million Africans, yet post-harvest losses exceed 30% due to inadequate processing infrastructure. This article evaluates the technical construction and economic viability of establishing a cassava processing plant in West Africa, addressing food security and income generation.

Construction Framework of Cassava Processing Plant in Africa

1.Site Selection

Criteria: Proximity to cassava farms (<50km), road accessibility, stable electricity/water supply

Recommended Locations: Nigeria, Tanzania, or Ghana due to high cassava production volumes

2.Cassava Processing Stages

Primary Processing: Washing, peeling

Secondary Processing: Grating, fermentation (for gari), frying(for garri), dewatering, drying, milling

Value-Added Products: Cassava starch, cassava flour, ethanol (optional modular expansion)

garri processing flow and machine

3. Cassava Processing Equipment & Capacity

Baseline: 10-ton/day throughput

Key machinery: Mechanical cassava peelers, cassava grater, cassava hydraulic presses, stainless steel fermentation tanks, etc.

Economic Analysis of Establishing a Cassava Processing Plant in Africa

1. Capital Expenditure (CAPEX)

ItemCost Range (USD)
Land acquisition20,000–50,000
Processing equipment80,000–100,000
Utilities setup15,000–25,000

2. Operational Economics

Primary products: $250/ton (cassava flour), $400/ton (tapioca starch)

Byproducts: $50/ton (Animal feeds)

Break-even: 18–24 months at 70% capacity utilization

ROI: 22–30% (5-year projection)

3. Socioeconomic Impact

Direct employment: 15–20 jobs/plant

Farmer income boost: 40–60% via reduced post-harvest losses

The above is the construction and economic analysis of establishing a cassava processing plant in Africa offered by Henan Jinrui. We have enrich experience in offering small/medium/large cassava processing projects in West African countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Congo, Tanzania,etc. If you want to set up a cassava processing plant for making garri, cassava flour, cassava starch, just chat with us!
