Simple Guide on How to Produce Cassava, Sell And Make Millions
It is unfortunate to see how many Nigerian go to bed hungry every night, suffering of starvation and malnutrition. How we constantly complain of lack of good paying jobs, and no money to spend and take care of our immediate needs. How many sell themselves into slavery in the hands of Chinese and Lebanese merchant’s right in their own country all in the name of working in a factory. While in reality, we're sitting on a cash goldmine known as cassava farming and production!


The industrial processing of cassava in Nigeria holds much potential for successful investment.


The crop is increasingly attracting attention and processing businesses are slowly starting to spring-up all over the country. You also know how useful cassava is to Nigerians in general in terms of consumption.


Cassava forms the major part of our daily food. Almost no family can survive a whole year without cassava related food.


Cassava can be processed into a number of products such as starch, flour, chips, ethanol and glucose syrup, and bread to name a few. These products are all in high demand locally and also have significant export possibilities. These therefore, place a lot of raw cash in the hands of anyone who has the product.


As a smart person, you should be thinking about how to take advantage of government support for agriculture and the increased budget to make wealth for yourself. If you are ready, here are what you need to farm cassava.



Cassava Production

Site selection

For Cassava plantation, it is important to choose an accessible well-drained fertile soil.

Varieties

For good cassava production, the following varieties are recommended for their high yield and processing quality: TMS 30572, NR 8082, NR8083, TMS 4(2) 1425, TMS 81/00110, TMS 92/0326. An additional 10 varieties are in the process of being released. Check from the cassava production specialists in Ibadan

Weed control and land preparation

A total herbicide – Round up (a glyph sate) should be applied to the land where you want to plant your cassava at the rate of 4–5 l/ha 10 days before land preparation. For cost effectiveness and optimum plant population of your cassava , mechanization and planting on ridges are recommended.

Liming

It is recommended that 5 (50 kg) bags of agricultural lime be applied /ha during land preparation.

Planting and planting material

1. Cassava Planting starts in April and can be extended to October.
2. The quantity of cassava recommended for 1 ha is 60 bundles of cassava stem.
3. Cassava Stem cuttings 25 cm long should be planted at a spacing of 1 m x 1 m.
4. Maintain 100% cassava planting rate by replacing dead or nonviable stems.

Post-planting weed control

Where a total herbicide was not used before land preparation for cassava plantation, it is recommended that a selective pre-emergence herbicide be applied within three days after planting. Five liters of Prim extra is recommended /ha.

Fertilizer use, type and rate

The following fertilizers and their rate/ha are recommended

• NPK 15:15:15–12 (50 kg) bags
• NPK 20:10:10–9 (50 kg) bags
• NPK 12:12:17–15 (50 kg) bags

Apply fertilizer at 8 weeks after planting your cassava. Apply fertilizer in a ring, 6 cm wide and 10 cm from the plant or broadcast with care around the cassava plant, making sure the fertilizer does not touch the cassava stem or leaves.

Yield

Cassava Yield of 25 t/ha and above can be obtained with good agronomic practices and management.
Therefore, every step must be taken seriously in the process of planting your cassava.

Note

To reduce cost of production and attain high yields, it is recommended that land preparation be fully
mechanized. A power tiller can be used if the total land area under cultivation is not more than 250ha


A cassava production like this will make you rich.

Processing of Harvested Rice

Rice is a staple food consumed heavily in every part of Nigeria. Rice merchants parades the production areas to buy rice in bulk for processing. The harvested rice from the farm is threshed and dried. At this stage it is called paddy rice. Paddy rice bought from the farm should be dry less than 18% moisture content. The next step is to parboil the rice.

Parboiling as the name of the operation implies is partial boiling of the rice. It serves two purposes.

A) to weaken the rice hull. Hull is the hard coat of the paddy rice and ease hulling.

B) To toughen the rice in order to reduce breakage during hulling.

Parboiling is better done by steam heating but most local farmers prefer total drenching and boiling. This also yield good result but drying takes longer time. Some farmers will even soak the rice overnight before parboiling.

Step 1: Put the container on the fire place . The container for parboiling is usually drum and the fire place made of three big stones or vehicle wheel rim of reasonable size. Set the drum on it and fill the drum up to 40 liters of water. Fill the drum with paddy rice almost to the brim.

Cover the drum with sac usually jute sac to conserve the vapor within the boiling chamber. Fire seriously until vapor start to escape from the top. When the hull of the rice on top start to open to reveal the rice inside then parboiling is done. That the rice is almost half done.

Step 2: Drain the excess water remove the rice and sundry. Dry to about 18% moisture level. It should not be too dry else there will be breakage during hulling. After drying pack the parboiled rice sac and carry to the mill.

Step 3: Milling is done by rice milling machine. There are locally made and imported rice milling machine. The rice milling machine consist of two chambers,. The first one is the huller. This chamber removes the rice hull. When the hull is removed the rice becomes brown rice. Brown rice is passed to the next chamber to polish. Polishing is the removal of the outer layer of the brown rice. This layer is also called bran.

After the bran has been removed the rice is now called polished rice. Polished rice is suppose to be coated with protein material to become coated rice like the imported rice but we do not bother about this in Nigeria. What we take to the market is the polished rice.

The rice hull removed is good feed for ruminant farm animals like cattle sheep and goat. The rice bran is very rich in protein and good and expensive ingredient for farm animals like pig and poultry feed.

It is very important that extra care should be taken not to contaminate the rice with stones, sand or any extraneous material at any stage of processing. This is where the difference lies between imported rice and local rice. The imported rice is free of contamination.

Processing of Cassava Flour

Cassava flour in a very important ingredient in profitable production of bread. In the year 2001 Nigerian president was a farmer so had a first hand knowledge of what problems farmers were facing and the fact that Nigerian government was spending huge amount of money on wheat which is used to produce bread and some other confectioneries.

The government directed Federal Institute of Industrial Research to find ways of including local raw materials in the production of bread. The outcome of the research is that cassava flour can be mixed with wheat at up to 10% without any adverse effect on the taste and texture of the product. The federal government then mandated all the flour mill to include cassava flour in their product since then.

On the exit of president Obasanjo the law was no so much enforced until last year president Goodluck Jonatan raised the hope of farmers again by increasing the import duty on wheat. At this point the bakers started sourcing alternative. This development drove them back to cassava four.

Cassava flour is not elubo lafun the staple food of Egbas in Ogun state. The difference between the two is that the cassava for producing flour should be harvested and processed in the same day. The important point in this is that there should be no fermentation of the cassava at all. But the cassava processing to elubu must be fermented for at least three days.

Step 1: Harvest matured cassava from the farm and load it to the processing shed immediately. If the quantity of cassava harvested can not be carried in the same day for logistic reasons do not detach the cassava from the stem and leaf until the vehicle to carry it is ready. That is to say fermentation will not occur if the cassava is still attached to the leaf and stem even if it has been uprooted. But care must be taken not to bruise the cassava when uprooting it.

Step 2: Peel the cassava and wash it in clean water.

Step 3: Grind the cassava with grating machine.

Step 4: Press the grated cassava with screw jack or hydraulic jack. The pressing is very technical and very important. The moisture level of the cassava should be reduced to below 20%. The process from harvesting to pressing must be under 24 hours. If not the product has turned to elubo and may not be good foe baking. After pressing to below 20% moisture level fermentation is completely halted. The next stage is drying.

Step 5: Dry to moisture level of below 14% The drier the product the longer the storage life or the shelf life. The moisture level is the most important quality which will be examined at the point of sales. If properly processed as narrated above the colour of the product is snow white.

Drying could be by sun drying if the quantity is not much or if the period is dry season when there is no possibility of sudden rainfall. The ideal method of drying is the industrial dryer. Some industrial dryers are capable of handling up to 10 tons per day. If the processing is during rainy season the best alternative is the industrial dryer. They charge their fee per ton.

Step 6: Bag into baggco sacs of 50kg and send to the point of sales.

COST ANALYSIS.

1. Price of 3 tons truck of raw cassava at Ifo is N60,000 to the processing shed.

2. Cost of peeling N3,000 Naira for the three tons.

3. Cost of pressing N3,000 Naira for the three tons

4. Transportation to dryer at Itori N2,000 Naira the quantity of the material reduces almost by 50% after pressing.

At the drying center the product will be tested and weighed in. The moisture level recorded. The will be dried and sold at the drying center there to merchants who process the LPO to supply to the flour mills or bakers. The three tons of cassava is to yield minimum of 1.5 tons of flour. A ton of flour is N70,000 Naira 1.5 tons will yield N105,000 Naira less expenses of not more than N80,000 Naira entrepreneur has a balance of N25,000 on each truck of cassava bought. It is more profitable for a cassava farmer to process his cassava to this point if there is labor to accomplish.

Stop looking for job,try to create one for your self, farming is the only reasonable business for any graduate to venture into now,look at the following TIPs that will help know more about farming.
Every business in Nigeria shouldn't be about buying and selling, vegetable farming is one aspect of farming in Nigeria that is capable of bringing quick cash to the would be farmer this season. There ar
e so many people in the streets of Lagos who have no business being in Lagos. While they waste away in poverty, hoping for a better tomorrow; opportunity to make good money through farming is actually passing them by on daily basis.

In Nigeria of those days, the term 'Farmer' is heavily associated with poverty and illiteracy. But that was then, not now anymore when farmers are becoming the richest people (I heard that one of the richest man in China is a farmer) and leaving the best of life possible.

Vegetable farming happens to be one of the easiest agricultural engagement, and any kind of edible vegetable is always in hot demand all year round. One good example is Fluted Pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis) popularly known as Ugu (It's Igbo name) across Nigeria.

Ugu vegetable is by far, the most consumed vegetable of any kind in Nigeria. An acre size Ugu farm is capable of turning in above N500,000 and it will take you less than N60,000 to cultivate one acre farm of fluted pumpkin.

If you are in Lagos, the entire Power Line of hundreds of Acres, that stretched from Egbin power station in Ijede, Ikorodu, down to almost Ikorodu garage are extremely good for Ugu farming and you can get them almost free to cultivate your pumpkin and other vegetables.

Some popular Vegetables in Nigeria that you can Cultivate

Fluted Pumpkin - Like I've said before, Pumpkin vegetable is the most consumed vegetable by Nigerians of all class. It is used to prepare varieties of dishes and it's very nutritious too. When you talk about soup in Nigeria, you are directly talking about ugu because, almost all Nigerian soups are cooked with this vegetable.

Apart from cooking, pumpkin vegetable has been known to increase the volume of the red blood cell when consumed fresh, without being cooked. It's blood enhancing nutrients gives it the ability to expand the volume of your blood at a very short time after consumption!

It is of course natural for a vegetable of these benefits and usage to be in high demand, anyone who can cultivate Ugu, is absolutely going to make good money selling it and can be cultivated in every part of Nigeria due to the plant's tolerant of drought and poor soil.

Green Okra - Okra, which is popularly known as the lady's finger and gumbo, in many English speaking countries is a very nutritious edible green pod vegetable. When sliced, the okra's edible green seed pods produces slippery sticky substance that make the soup tick, smooth, and delicious. My personal experience with okra shows that eating fresh vegetable soup prepared with plenty of okra can relive constipation and increase digestion.

If you are a Nigerian, you don't need to be told about okra soup. It's one of the most popular soup in Nigeria restaurants, usually prepared with Ugu vegetable and smoked fish - very delicious and taste good.

Okra contains good amount of Vitamin-A and is known to be anti-oxidant due to it's good content of beta-carotene. It is also rich in Vitamin-C, Vitamin-K, and some form of Vitamin-B Complexes. Like Fluted Pumpkin, it tolerate all kinds of soil.

Cabbage - Cabbage is another popular vegetable in Nigeria and is popularly used to prepare salads. The only part of the plant that is normally eaten is the rounded leafy head (the spherical cluster of immature leaves) excluding the partially unfolded outer leaves.

Because of it's spicy flavor, Cabbage is used in a variety of dishes, and is widely consumed raw as well. It is in high demand in Nigeria and sells for reasonably good price.

Cabbage really does not like the sun, it grows better in a cold environment but must get at least 6 hours of sunlight everyday. It grows well on a well fertile, well drained manured soil.

Cucumber - As I always says: Great skin starts with Cucumber; If you really want your skin to be happy, your number one answer is cucumber. This is because, cucumber and skin is known to share the same level of hydrogen content, which makes it easier for cucumber to deal with the skin problems by engulfing them. It works well in soothing, softening, and relaxing your skin very quickly.

Cucumber can be eaten raw and is used for preparation of many kinds of food in Nigeria. Cultivating this vegetable will surely put money into your pockets.

Cucumbers like every other vegetables like soil that is well drained and rich in organic matter, but "don’t stress about the soil conditions. Cucumbers are hearty plants and easy to grow. Just make sure they have full sunlight and soil that is rich in organic matter."

When you engage in farming, you will have plenty of food to eat, you sell to make good cash, and it gets you closer to nature. These will increase your overall well being as a human-being. So, give it a trial today and see yourself happy.
Both Crop and livestock farming are profitable, if you are looking for a long time investment with peace of mind, go for crop, i.e Cocoa, Oil Palm etc, Cocoa on a 250 Acres of land, planted with the new hybrid Seedling will give you minimum of 2 Tonnes per Hectares per Annum, multiply by 100 hectares(1 hectares=2.5 acres) = 200 Tonnes, even at the current market cheap rate of N350000, (do your sum) and thats every year for the next 30-40 year.s Oil palm is the same margin as well. Livestock is very profitable as well, with even quicker turn around period but a greater risk. 100 sheep (if lambing occurs twice a year will give you between 300-400 sheep/ram a year, at the average rate of 50k during ileya, (do your sum) Farming is always a money spinner but very capital intensive, and with our banks not ready to loan you money, it makes it harder for your people to venture into farming.

And the good news is that PROSPERITY INNOVATIONS Is giving full support to all interested young farmers that has already have all it takes for farming except the farmland, they give them the opportunity to farm on any size of the land they needed and pay either for leasing or buying at the end of their harvest,but they pay with product of what they get from the farm. please call Olayinka 07038695376
