Agro Processing In Nigeria
One of the major differences between the Developed and Developing Countries is the culture of adding value to commodities; whilst the developed world maximizes the value to its exports the developing world sells raw commodities without any value input.
For example Chocolate is one of the world’s most popular sweet treats, and in 2014, the global sales of chocolate was a staggering $100 billion. Meanwhile, Ivory Coast and Ghana are the world’s number one and two producers of cocoa beans which is the raw ingredient for making chocolate. Surprisingly the two countries earned a paltry $8 billion in cocoa exports in the same year which is a far cry from what the processors earned. In the global value chain for chocolate, the value is skewed heavily in favour of processors, marketers and distributor whilst the cocoa growers receive just 6% of the price that consumers pay for chocolate. This clearly underscores the fact that the farmer who sells his products raw and does not add value to the product remains the least paid in the agricultural chain.
We at Blueprint Agricultural Innovation have decide to fill the gap and have decided to utilize our years of experience in setting up agro-processing plants to compile an Agro Processing Manual which is the first in a series of training materials on Agro Processing in Nigeria. The book discusses how to construct the factory, where to source raw materials, production process, equipment’s necessary, how to package your product and market potential of the following products:
- Cassava Processing (Garri And Cassava Starch)
- Dried Fish Production
- Oil Palm Processing (Palm Oil And Palm Kernel Oil)
- Chicken Processing
- Plantain Chips Production
- Feeds Production (Poultry And Floating Fish Feed)
- Coconut Oil Processing
