1. Scale of garri making unit

A small scale and basic gari making unit for home use or very small scale production might cost around 3000usd. This could include simple equipment like a grater for cassava, some basic containers for fermentation and frying.

Medium scale commercial units, which may have more efficient cassava cleaning and peeling machine, grating machine, hydraulic presser machine, better fermentation facility and garri fryer, and some quality control tools, can cost between 15,000 to 50,000 usd. These units are suitable for supplying local markets in a small town or a few nearby villages.

Large scale industrial gari making units with advanced machinery for high volume production, automated quality control systems, and large scale storage facilities can cost upwards of 100,000 or even more.

2. Equipment quality and source

Locally made, basic garri processing unit is generally cheaper. But because of poor quality, it may not be durable.

If you include advanced machinery such as automated garri production line from raw cassava tubers input hopper to end garri product packaging, which are not commonly available locally and need to be imported, the cost can add a significant amount to the overall price of the gari making unit.

3. Additional costs

Land acquisition or rental for the production site also needs to be considered. In urban areas, land is more expensive compared to rural areas. For example, renting a small plot of land in a rural area for a medium scale gari processing unit might cost around 70000Naira per month, while in an urban area it could be 280000 Naira or more.

Training costs for operators, if they need to be trained on how to use new garri equipment or follow modern production and quality control techniques, can range from 140000 Naira - 700000Naira per person depending on the complexity of the training.
