What preparations need to be done to build a small cassava starch processing plant in Nigeria?

There are three points to consider when setting up a small cassava starch processing plant. It mainly includes promise a stable and adequate raw supply, determine the capacity of the small cassava starch processing plant, and the location of the starch plant.

Enough cassava raw material

The first point is that you should promise a stable and adequate raw supply.

Although there are many cassava plantations in Nigeria, you should prepare it before setting up a small cassava starch processing plant. How to solve the raw material? There are three ways to solve it in Nigeria.

1) You will plant the cassava roots, then ensure the long-term raw material supply.

2) You will buy the cassava roots from local farmer. But you need to confirm you can get a good price and long-term supply.

3) You will get some cassava roots from your own, and some buy from locals.

The second point is the capacity of the small cassava starch processing plant that you want to set up.

There are two factors that you should think it when you decided on the capacity.

1) Raw material supply conditions.

2) Investment budgets for the machine which you prepared.

You will make a decision depending on the above two basic points. But HENAN JINRUI COMPANY has machines in various capacities, we can also make a proposal based on how many tons of cassava you want to process per day.

The third point is the location of the starch plant.

We advise that it’s better to set up a small cassava starch processing plant near the cassava plantation. Why? As we all know, the road is not very good in Nigeria. So it’s not easy to transport by truck. So considering the raw material and products transportation time & cost, it is better to set up near cassava farms.

The above basic factors are what you need to consider before setting up a small scale starch processing plant in Nigeria. HENAN JINRUI COMPANY can design small scale, medium scale, and big scale cassava starch processing plant.
