Cassava starch processing in Nigeria - its current status and development situation

Current status of tapioca starch processing in Nigeria


At present, the tapioca starch processing industry in Nigeria is relatively backward. The main problems are the backward processing technology of cassava starch, low level of mechanization and automation, and insufficient processing capacity. Due to the low degree of industrialization, the current tapioca starch processing in Nigeria mainly takes the form of small-scale, semi-manual and semi-mechanical processing. In this way, the cassava is washed by hand, then pulverized into a slurry with a cassava grinder, and then placed in a sedimentation tank for impurity separation, then the cassava milk is filtered with a filter bag, and finally dried to obtain cassava starch. However, through this manual method, the tapioca starch is exposed to the air for too long and is easily contaminated, so the quality of the starch produced is not high and the profit is low. In addition, manual processing has the disadvantages of low efficiency, small capacity and large waste. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the industrialization of Nigerian tapioca starch processing.


In addition to the low degree of industrialization in Nigeria, Nigeria's tapioca starch processing also lacks the correct value orientation. At present, the product positioning of Nigerian tapioca starch processing enterprises is still aimed at basic local consumption in Nigeria or as a substitute for staple food, without the driving force of commercial development and export-oriented production goals. Actually expect tapioca starch as food in food


There are many applications in industry, such as in paper mills, textile mills or chemical industry and other industries. In addition, tapioca starch is not only in great demand in Nigeria, but also has a broad market in the international market. The international industrial starch price is about 200,000 naira per ton. Therefore, if Nigeria's cassava starch processing can enter the stage of fully automatic mechanization, the industrial value of cassava will be greatly improved.


Development status of tapioca starch in Nigeria


Recognizing the importance of tapioca starch, the Nigerian government has adopted a series of measures to promote the development and production of tapioca starch processing industry. In order to promote the production of cassava starch, the federal government established the "Presidential Committee to Promote the Production and Export of Cassava" to take measures to encourage the export of cassava and its finished products, and to increase the promotion of cassava starch and its finished products. The cassava processing industries in Brazil, Colombia, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, South Africa and other countries promote the development of the cassava starch processing industry through exports.


In addition, Nigeria provides low-interest loans to companies engaged in tapioca starch processing, encouraging companies to start automated mechanized tapioca starch processing plants. On the premise of ensuring food security and meeting domestic industrial demand, the Nigerian government encourages private enterprises and foreign investment to localize the production and processing of cassava starch, so that the produced cassava starch may be exported to domestic demand on the basis of export.
