This is a sample Garri processing plant business plan and feasibility study to guide you before you startup the business or possible expansion. The sample guide is not complete, it is just a preliminary for the business. You can get a comprehensive and international standard business plan from us used to start up any business and get a loan from a Bank or Investor.

Agriculture is a profit yielding industry. The area of Garri processing is very viable. A business plan and feasibility study will give you the physical planing and financial breakdown of cost for the business. The business plan we will prepare for you will will be of international standard and will provide the close supervision and guide that you need. Again, you can use the business plan to take a loan/grant after you have registered your business name from any agricultural / commercial bank, bank of industry (BOI), investors, Small and Medium scale Enterprise empowerment programs (SMEs) etc.
We will use the feasibility study of the state where you intend to acquire your land, its weather conditions, market analysis, competitors, the locations of the intended business place, market opportunities of the business, cost implications, cash flow analysis (cost implication/budget, expected annual returns from the business, profitability analysis, 3 year cash projections), business SWOT analysis, sustainability plan of the business etc. See sample of other Business Plans and Feasibility Study we have written previously.

The study
cassava tubers are one of those agricultural products that can be cultivated in
any part of the country. This is possible because they grow in relatively poor
soil and in low rainfall areas. Nigeria remains the largest producer of cassava
in the world. Cassava can be processed into chips,
garri, flour fufu and livestock feeds for animal consumption.
The market demand for cassava derivatives is increasing
by the day especially in the Garri and flour processing industries, where the
government policy of making composite bread flour mandatory to all bakers in
Nigeria, combining 10% of um-fermented cassava flour with 90% wheat flour since
January 2005, has created valued at over twenty-eight billion Naira.
Objectives
of these Garri Processing Establishment includes:
1. Maximize cross-fertilization among
Nigeria Government Agricultural policy project (Loan and grants) in the area of
cassava processing and marketing
2. Develop new markets, both for existing
and new cassava products.
To achieve these goals, this garri
industry has envisaged the implementation of a set of actions meant to;
1. Develop
markets for both existing and new products
2. Identify the best processing and
marketing technologies and good practices for both raw and processed cassava
roots within and beyond the region, and to adapt them to local conditions,
3. Strengthen the mechanisms for
exchanging cassava market and technological information in Nigeria.

3.0 PROPOSED
LOCATION
This
Garri industry shall be located at Ezzamgbo, in Ebonyi State Nigeria. This is
because the community is the largest producer of cassava tubers in the state.
This is aimed at getting the raw material at a lower cost. Other factors to be
considered in setting up a food processing industry are also obtainable in the
region. This will go a long way in growing the industry to a standard in a
little space of time.
4.0 PRODUCTION PLANT: MAIN DETAILS
The
plant is designed to process cassava and produce pre-cooked, sterilized garri
to be vacuum-packed in 1kg plastic pouches. The main parameters of the target
processing unit are summarized here below:
1. Intake of raw material (cassava root):
3000kg/day (2 shifts of 8 hours/day).
2. Out take of final product: 2000kg/day
of garri in 1kg plastic pouches;
3. Production capacity of the garrifying
and packaging line; 200kg/h.
5.0 MAIN FEATURES OF THE RAW MATERIAL TO BE
USED IN
THE PILOT PLANT:
Table below
summarizes the main parameters of the proposed Garri processing plant varieties
with a low content of toxic substances like hydrogen cyanide and with
organoleptic features well accepted by local final consumers.
6.0 FEATURES OF THE FINAL PRODUCT
The
final feature of the product produced from the proposed investment will have to
meet demand of those customers (such as hotels, restaurants and catering
companies) who are increasingly demanding services to accompany the raw product.
The
table below summarizes the main features that are expected to grant the
marketing success of the proposed new cassava derivate, along with the chief
characteristics that its packaging will need to have

7.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE GARRI PROCESSING PLANT
The proposed
production unit includes a reception hall were raw materials are delivered in
bulk, weighed, cleaned and then stored in wooden boxes to be later taken to the
processing area. The proposed plant was conceived to include the following;
1. Raw
cassava reception/cleaning and storage area.
2. Cassava
peeling/washing hall
3. Cassava
grating/bagging/pressing area
4. Cassava
garrifying
5. Packing, weighing, labeling and storage
area of the end products.
6. One
laboratory
7. One
workshop for equipment maintenance
8. One
room for storing packaging materials
9. Utilities

Main features of buildings and
auxiliaries facilities are described in Annex I.
8.0 Description
of the processing operations
* Cassava
Reception
Cassava roots are delivered bulk inside
the reception hall. After being weighed, cassava root are manually cleaned by
means of brushes and put on wooden boxes for storage before being further
processed.
* Cassava peeling and washing
Cassava roots are transferred to the
peeling are where they are manually peeled and washed
Cassava
Grating:
Peeled cassava is grated into mash by
means of a grating machine.
Fermentation
Cassava semi-dry mash is allowed to
ferment by placing it at wooden pallets for about 6-8 hours.
Sieving
The fermented mash is sieve using a
mechanic deck sieve.
Garrifying
The dry mash is fried using iron pan.
Packaging
Garri is then manually put inside a 1kg plastic
paunch that is welded through a vacuum bell packaging machine.
Labeling
and storage
At the end of
packaging, the 1kg pouches are weighed and labeled. Packed in carton of 10kg
and stored before their final delivery to customers.
