Overview of cassava starch production in Nigeria

Nigeria is the leading cassava producer in the world which produces a third more than Brazil and almost double the production capacity of Thailand and Indonesia. Although it is the world leader in cassava production, 90% of the annual production in Nigeria is targeted for the domestic food market. Therefore cassava starch production in Nigeria is promising.

The business opportunities brought about by the cassava revolution have increased local investment in the cassava processing industry. The demand for cassava starch production in Nigeria increasing every year. This therefore has led to an increase in local demand for cassava tubers and investment opportunities to supply cassava roots to the cassava processing industry.

It is in realization of this fact that lead government to prioritize the cultivation , processing and export of cassava in the years past thereby leading to cassava starch production in Nigeria develops rapidly in recent years.

 

Cassava starch production in Nigeria


The cassava starch processing machine used cassava starch production in Nigeria contains the following step:

1. Sorting and Weighing: The cassava roots are sorted to select the wholesome roots for cassava starch production in Nigeria. The tubers are then weighed.

2. Cleaning: The weighed cassava roots transported into dry sieve for removing sand, weed, stone and other debris.

3. Washing: Cleaned root is washed in paddle washing machine with sufficient quantity of potable water to further remove soil, dirt and other contaminants. Cleaning raw material has a important influence on the following step for cassava starch production in Nigeria.

4. Grating: The cassava root is grated to cassava slurry to release starch from cassava cell. This is the most important procedure in cassava starch production in Nigeria which determines starch yield.

5. Separation: Cassava starch and fibers are separated in centrifuge sieve and fine fiber sieve in this process.

6. Enrichment and refining: Hydrocyclone station is used for separating protein, fine fibers and cell sap from starch slurry for cassava starch production in Nigeria.

7. Dewatering: The moisture content of the starch milk is reduced mechanically to about 38% to prepare for drying operation.

8. Drying: Drying process for cassava starch production in Nigeria is used for drying cassava starch to the desired quality.

9. Sieving and Packaging: The cassava starch is sieved and packaged by semi-automatic machine for marketing.

Mechanized cassava starch production in Nigeria is still on the developmental stage and the potential is very high. The demand for cassava starch in Nigeria is in excess of 350,000 tons per annum. The current domestic production capacity to meet the estimated demand for cassava starch is less than 20 per cent.

What factors affect the price of cassava starch processing plant ？

Image
For the majority of clients who want to set up a cassava starch processing plant, one of their main concern is that: What is the price of a complete set of cassava starch processing machine ? And what factors affect the price of cassava starch processing plant? Let's do a detailed analysis today. cassava starch processing plant Here are the main factors that determines the price of cassava starch processing plant 1. Single equipment or complete set of equipment: The unit price of single equipment is lower, while price of cassava starch processing plant in a whole set is relatively higher. However, it is necessary to consider the processing time, labor cost and other issues. In addition, the production of cassava starch is a complicated process. The single-machine equipment and small equipment occupy a large area and the sanitary conditions are limited. The whole set of cassava starch processing machine features with easy operation, automatic process, saving time and effort, a
