Stop! Don’t Build a Garri Factory Just Because Cassava is Cheap

Cassava prices have crashed by over 80%. A tonne that sold for ₦220,000 in 2025 is now going for ₦30,000 to ₦40,000.

Everyone sees this and thinks: "This is the perfect time to start a garri business."

But here is the uncomfortable truth that will wipe out your capital: Cheap raw material does not automatically equal profit.

In fact, our detailed financial models show that at standard commodity pricing and 60–80% capacity utilisation, a typical 2-tonne/day garri plant is loss-making.

Why? Because the real cost isn't the cassava. It’s the diesel.

❌ The Diesel Trap: Your fryer and generator will consume over ₦6.1 million every single month. If you are selling unbranded garri at commodity prices, diesel will eat your entire margin.

❌ The Commodity Trap: Selling 50kg bags to wholesalers is a race to the bottom. You cannot win on price alone.

❌ The 48-Hour Rule: Cassava roots rot within 48 hours of harvest. If your factory is not within a tight supply radius and paying cash on the spot, your raw material will spoil before it hits the grater.

You cannot just buy a machine and hope for the best.

But if you know how to play the game correctly, this market is a massive opportunity. The price gap between Ibadan (₦22,000/bag) and Lagos (₦42,000/bag) is a staggering 85%. You just need the right strategy to capture it.

Introducing: The Garri Production & Processing Feasibility Report for Nigeria

Prepared by FeasibilityAfrica, this is a data-driven, no-hype reality check built specifically for serious agro-processors. It doesn't just tell you that cassava is cheap; it tells you exactly how to build a profitable business around it.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• The Financial Reality Check: Why the standard base case is loss-making, and the exact levers you must pull (premium pricing, gas-fired fryers, higher yields) to achieve a 12–18% net margin.
• The "Lagos Arbitrage" Strategy: How to exploit the massive price gap between the South-West cassava belt and the Lagos consumer market.
• The Branded Retail Blueprint: Why selling unbranded 50kg bags will kill your business, and how to build a 1kg/5kg branded retail pack that commands a premium.
• The Capital Breakdown: Why you need a realistic ₦48M–₦74M in CAPEX (plus a robust working capital float), and how to avoid the underfunding trap.
• The Supply Chain Rules: How to secure farmer cluster agreements and enforce the strict 48-hour processing rule to ensure consistent quality.

Who This Report Is For

✔️ Hands-on agro-processors ready to build a semi-mechanized, hygienic production line.

✔️ Anyone ready to sell into the lucrative Lagos market or build a branded retail product.

❌ NOT for passive investors, anyone who expects the cassava glut to last forever, or those who think they can manage a factory from the city.

The Bottom Line

This report will tell you one of two things:

1. You have the supply chain, the capital, and the premium pricing strategy to build a highly profitable garri brand.
2. You are underestimating the diesel costs and the 48-hour rule — and you just saved yourself ₦70 million in losses.

Either outcome is worth far more than the price of this report.
