Market research on cassava flour processing industry

In recent years, especially after the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the demand for food has increased dramatically around the world. In Africa, cassava is one of the major crops, and more and more people are getting involved in setting up cassava processing plants, including the production of gari, cassava flour, cassava fufu powder, cassava starch, and so on. Among them, cassava flour production is a very promising industry.

Cassava flour processing industry boasts a large sales market. Traditionally, the main ingredient for making bread is wheat flour. Recently, however, people have begun to mix tapioca and wheat flour together to make bread, which not only saves money but adds flavor. In some countries like Cameroon, local government publish policies to encourage people add 10% cassava flour to make bread instead of the full use of wheat flour. In addition, cassava flour is widely used in the production of cookies, ethanol and other food products. Therefore, cassava flour enjoys a large market potential.

How about the return on investment? According to the information received from our customers in Africa, the price of a ton of flour is about $600, while the price of a ton of cassava tubers is about $70-80. Usually 3-4 tons of cassava tubers can produce 1 ton of flour. This means that the gross profit earned from producing one ton of cassava flour is about $300. After subtracting the running costs, we can arrive at a net profit. Running costs include water, electricity and labor. If you can tell us the price of water, electricity and labor wages in your area, we can help you do a profit analysis.

To summarize, cassava flour has a relatively large sales market and is profitable to produce. If you have a steady supply of cassava raw materials or a large area of arable land, land and capital, why not invest in cassava flour production?
