How do you set up a small scale cassava processing plant?

Raw cassava roots are plentiful and cheap in Africa. So more and more people are interested in setting up a cassava processing plant to process cassava into valuable products. If one has a limited budget, he will tend to choose to set up a small scale cassava processing plant. The article will briefly introduce how to set up a small scale cassava processing plant.

How do you set up a small scale cassava processing plant

Firstly, you should consider cassava raw material supply.

Whether to buy it from other farmers or grow cassava by yourself, you should ensure stable and adequate cassava supply per day. If you have your own farm, figure out how many tons of cassava you can harvest each year, when to plant and harvest and how to store materials before production. If you need to buy cassava from other farmers, you should do research on cassava yield of local farms. And then you can sign agreement with farmers to supply certain quantity of cassava with regular supply.

Secondly, you should confirm the final product you want to do.

As for small scale cassava processing plant, Doing Holdings - Henan Jinrui can provide machines for garri, cassava flour, fufu flour and cassava starch. The processing techniques are different. So different final products have different machines. You can do research on product price, quality requirement, packaging types, market demand etc of these final products. It can help you make decision.

Confirm the final product you want

Thirdly, you should confirm production capacity.

Normally small scale cassava processing plant can process 1-10 tons cassava tubers per day. But when it comes to capacity confirmation, you should consider 2 factors. 1. How many tons cassava you can get per day? 2. What’s your budget for small scale cassava processing plant? Or you can provide all these information to us, our project manager will give you advice.

There are also some other issues you need to take into consideration, such as land, water, electricity etc. If you are interested in setting up a small scale cassava processing plant, feel free to contact us for further discussion.
