Summary:
Investment is needed for the setting-up of a cassava processing facility in Kwara State.
Contact: Mr Fela Ibidapo
The Kwara State government is in need of local and foreign investors to participate in a cassava processing project.
Nigeria is one of the world's foremost producers of cassava and this is largely due to the federal government's policy on agricultural reforms. The same reforms are taking place in Kwara State and as a result the government is in need of cassava processing plants. Partners are needed to invest in cassava processing plants from which products like starch, cassava chips, flour, glucose and many others will be produced.
The processing will not only be for local consumption but also for export.
This project will involve the planning, construction, installation of equipment and operation of the facility.
Local farmers will actively participate in the programme by planting and supplying raw cassava tubers to the processing plant at a contracted price.
