Development Limits of Nigeria's Garri Industry: Power, Funding, Tech
Nigeria's garri industry, a staple food sector critical to food security and livelihoods, faces several limits related to power, funding, and technology. These constraints limit production efficiency, quality, and scalability. Below is an analysis of the key challenges and potential solutions for garri industry in Nigeria : 1. Power Supply Limit Problem: Unreliable electricity increases reliance on expensive diesel-powered garri processing machines.High energy costs reduce profit margins for small-scale garri processors. Inconsistent power disrupts cassava grating and garri frying processes, affecting garri quality. Solutions: Gas or diesel driven garri processing units, like Henan Jinrui's garri fryer with three heating systems of electricity, gas and diesel, can be flexibly used to reduce dependence on the grid. Government and private sector investments in mini-grids for rural processing clusters. Adopt energy-efficient cassava proce...
