How To Start A Cassava Farm In Nigeria: A Comprehensive Business Plan
How To Start A Cassava Farm In Nigeria: A Comprehensive Business Plan
With the increasingly diverse use of cassava products in Nigeria, cassava farming is getting more lucrative with every passing day. This farm product has always been a source of lively hood and food for millions of Nigerians. 90% of Nigerian households consume cassava products everyday. Some of the meals are: garri, wheat-flour, animal feed, commercial caramel, and a lot more.
As the population of Nigeria, and Africa as a whole continues to grow, the demand for cassava products will continue to skyrocket, leading to higher revenues generated by cassava farmers. This widespread consumption of cassava products will continue to place it as a cash crop that always gets bought after a harvest, and guarantees a good profit after sales.
Why then haven’t a lot of people ventured into cassava farming? The popular answer is the lack of capital. Capital hinders a lot of business activities from taking off. But with the economic recession been experienced in Nigeria, the Nigerian government through the country’s Bank Of Agriculture (BOA) has now made more agriculture loans available to millions of potential & active farmers. Taking advantage of the government’s agricultural loans and incentives at this time is a good way to start up your own cassava farm. You can find information on how to get and secure agricultural loans in Nigeria here.
If you’re looking for an agricultural business that would ensure you always almost sell out all your harvests, cassava farming is one great farming business to start.
Here’s a business plan template for how to start a cassava farm and processing business in Nigeria:
1). Select A Good Site For Your Cassava Farm:
When getting a site to setup a cassava farm, pick an area with deep well drained loamy soil, adequate rainfall, and warm & moist climatic conditions. Cassava grows best in these areas. An easy way to identify lands with these conditions is to see if:
- There’s a thick vegetation around it,
- The soil texture is good,
- The land is flat or gently sloping.
Picking the right location to setup your cassava farm is extremely important. Make sure the locals and food scientists can verify the richness of the soil before you proceed to make a purchase.
2). Improve The Soil For Planting The Cassavas:
This step is not important if you already selected a good site to grow your cassava crops. But if you didn’t, you’d need to spend a lot of money to improve the soil. Some practices commonly used to improve the soil for cultivation are:
- Manure your soil,
- Prepare good seedbeds,
- Planting the cassava along with other crops, and more.
Your soil must be very fertile for cultivation else, you’d lose millions. Little mistakes as this should be totally avoided. But the best route still, is to choose a good site. This way, you don’t have to go through the pain of improving the soil for planting the cassava stem cuttings.

3). Select The Best Cassava Variety To Plant:
There are wide breeds of cassavas that you can grow. But the best breeds to cultivate are the types that’s widely accepted by your target market, gives great yields, grows fast, and are resistant to pests and diseases. The major factors involved in selecting the right cassava breed to grow are:
- Varieties with good food quality
- Varieties with good cooking abilities
- Varieties that bulk early
- Varieties with good ground storability
- Varieties that are tolerant to pests, diseases, and weed.
Selecting the right breed to go with, will determine how successful your cassava farm will be. If you grow what people are not interested in, you’d go out of business faster than you imagined. Find out what the available buyers in the locality are interested in, then grow those types of cassava crops.
4). Select Healthy Cassava Stem Cuttings:
Cassava stem cuttings are used to grow cassava crops. Selecting healthy stems is crucial to growing rich cassava crops that your market would quickly purchase. You can buy cassava stem cuttings in town markets and villages. After your initial purchase of the cassava stem cuttings, the best place to keep getting healthy cassava stem cuttings are on your own farm. Planting healthy stem cuttings is important because they’d help you to greatly reduce the spread of cassava pests and diseases. When getting cassava stem cuttings, this is the best guide to follow:
- Find healthy cassava plants.
- Stay away from cassava plants that have or have had a history of pest and diseases.

5). Plant The Cassava Right:
Before you plant your cassava crop products, you need to consider the land tillage method, the time of the year, the seed bed type, and the method of preparation, handling, and planting of the cassava stem cuttings. Planting the cassava within all the right conditions will ensure you reap a healthy harvest. It will increase chances of good yields, and would ensure you always have the cassava harvests just when a lot of buyers need it.
6). Setup & Production Cost:
Just as any other startup business, a great execution of your cassava farming business can make you a millionaire. You need to understand the perfect costing needs to ensure you’re not going to generate a negative cash flow. Here is a sample costing for setting up a cassava farm in Nigeria:
- Land Cost: NGN 75,000 (Depends on the location)
- Land Preparation: NGN 25,000 (Could Vary)
- Cassava Stem Cuttings: NGN 50,000 (For 100 bundles. Bundle price could vary per location)
- Fertilizer NGN 25,000 (The price could vary by quantity)
- Fermentation Tank: NGN 220,000
- Hydraulic Press: NGN 280,000
- Hammer Mill: NGN 700,000
Many other costs that’d run deep through the cassava farm are: carriage bags, insecticides, farm maintenance, harvesting labour fees, general employee salaries, and a couple others.
Note: Some other costs and unforeseen expenses are not listed, and the costs listed here are heavily subjected to change because of inflation and other uncontrollable market vices.
7). Marketing Your Cassava Products:
After growing and harvesting your crops, you’d need to ensure maximum returns by selling your harvests to the right buyer and at the right price. This article gives a detailed explanation on how to market all types of farm products. Hope you find it highly informative.
Cassava farming remains a lucrative agricultural venture if executed right. Try not to cut corners when setting up a cassava farm, and you’d end up growing the right crops everyone desperately wants to buy. With this agric business, you can be guaranteed your farm products would sell out all the time.

Hello Mr Stan, please what is a tonne I don’t understand also I have four plot of land 400 by 400 please what quantity of cassava someone can get from it . Thanks Olukayode David
Hi David,
The answer is quite tardy because, it depends on how many can be grown all year round.
I’d advise you visit an existing cassava farm to get a comprehensive answer on that.
But pending then, anyone who runs an active cassava farm could leave the answer as a comment.
Then again, thank you for asking.

My question is that can u assist to give a rough estimate on the cost of farming cassava on 10acres of land. thanks for your anticipated response.
Hi Adenusi,
Thank you for the kind words.
Concerning your question:
It depends on if the farmland has been cleared for cultivation or not.
If trees are present and you’re currently purchasing the cassava stem cuttings, engaging labour, carrying out irrigation, clearing the land, and more, you could spend about 500,000 Naira ($1063).
If trees are absent, you could spend about 300,000 Naira ($638).
Thank you for asking.
10acres, for clearing the land by tractor budget around 605,000,for bedding, it’s around 80,000, for buying the cassava stem 50,000 and some other additional cost, I just started my own 10acre
Please Fakorede, I need to have a discussion with you. Please leave a text on my mobile 08135387614 and I will call in return.

Thank you for the information
You’re welcome Abasiama.
Hello Stanley. Weldone for the good work. Pls, I am interested in the cassava farming. I met a professional farmer who told me that to get 1acre of land, clearing and cultivating on lease is #60k and havesting is #150k i.e during havesting time 1acre of land of cassava can only give #150k but I was wondering how can I acre of land give 150k where 1 pickup motor is #120k in ogun state. Pls. How much can I make in one acre of cassava land. Thx.
Hi Toyin,
The reality is the fertility of the soil will determine what value of cassava you’d harvest and the cost of clearing and harvesting is dependent on your negotiating power.
Also, generating 150,000 Naira ($500) for an acre now (2016/2017) is a far cry. It is most likely 100,000 Naira worth of cassava max, except if the land is very fertile, and so, can produce larger and better cassava yields.
This is one reason people buy acres of land to cultivate cassava crops.
Thank you for asking.
hello Mr Stan pls are u saying #60,000 can cultivate 1acre of cassava farmland with due considerations to cost of herbicides, pesticides and fertilizer and other farm inputs. my second question is that I was told by a consultant that from a very good fertile land we should be able to get 25-30 tonnes pls is it true with respect to your answer above (#100,000) that you said is realistic
Hi Bankole,
All you stated are valid.
Thank you for asking.
Bankole meant to say that the consultant said 25-30 tonnes of cassava can be obtained from 1acre of land. But you earlier said that, that is attainable on 1 hectare land.
Could you please give some clarity. I am extremely glad to find myself here. Good bless you Stan
Hi Alex,
The factors surrounding the crop’s growth determines what is possible and what is not.
Thank you for asking.
I sincerely appreciate your effort Stan …more grease to your elbow… please kindly inform me when the ebook on cassava processing is available
thank u
Thank you for the kind words Taofik.
I’ll do well to let everyone know once the eBook is available.
Thank you for asking.
More grease to your elbows Mr. Stanley
M interested for the ebook
Thank you for the commendation Tobias.
When the eBook is available, I’ll do well to let everyone know.
Thank you for asking.
Without a bankable biz proposal,collateral and connection,can there be any loan from the said bank?Is there any loan,at all? Great job u’re doing here!Waitn 4 d e-book!
Hi Korede,
The truth is, it’s better you go through a business plan competition like AYEEN. They shortlist business plans and help facilitate funding for them through the Bank of Industry (BOI). Last year, they helped about 500 businesses.
The eBook is currently in the works. When it’s available, I’ll do well to let everyone know.
Thank you for asking.
pls Mr Stan, how much do you think a bundle of cassava cost now?
I’m not quite sure about now due to the exchange rate.
pls help me out, some one said to buy cassava stem for an acre will cost like 60k, pls aw true is that? and how many heaps can be made for cassava cultivation on an acre ? pls how much averagely (profit) can be gotten from an acre?
Hi Adeola,
The profit from an acre is largely dependent on your cost of labour and your cassava yield. The yield is determined by the fertility level of the land and if you’re using high yield cassava stem cuttings or not. The truth is after 12 months, you may not make up to 100,000 Naira in profits if you’re not using high yield cassava stem cuttings. The larger the scale at which you execute your cassava farm, the more profitable you can be.
Also, you can’t completely determine how many stem cuttings will work for an acre because the farmland measurements are different per state. The best way to know for sure in your own state is to buy and plant.
Concerning heaps per acre, the tubers don’t grow in proportion to each other. some are usually far bigger than others, resulting in different numbers on every harvest.
Thank you for asking.
very interesting motivating
Thank you for the comment Elias.
Great information on agriculture poroject. My question is how many strands of cassava plant will an Acre of land contain.
Hi Samuel,
That’s a very broad question and no one really has an answer to that.
Great work and thanks for sharing. I have just acquired 65 acres of land and prefer to plant cassava, maize and soya beans mainly. The farm is in Ido local government of Oyo State. Please where can we source high quality seeds and cassava cuttings we need. Also what is the quantity we need for the space.
Regards
Hi Kunle,
You can get seeds from some locations in Ogun State.
Also, we’re starting up an affordable agric supply chain service for small businesses soon.
It will be available sometime in May or early July.
We’ll do well to announce once it is.
Thank you for asking.
Hello kunle, am currently within ido local government and privileged to have an access to land for farming right now, however I believe I can help or assist on reputable places of where to get high quality cassava stem cuttings and maize seeds as well, the maize seeds have planted has been good from the result am seeing even by planting 1 seed, 2 seeds, 3 seeds and 4 seeds per hole, have seen a 98% germination rate so far. As for the cassava stems, it depends on the specie you want which is also dependent on the market you are targeting. if you have further questions you can let me know and you can also contact me for more information Through my email Oluwafemiakinwa@gmail.com
Thank you Oluwafemi, Sorry, I have been out of town for some time but will contact you shortly.

Hi Oladele,
Please send an email to stanley.edom@startuptipsdaily.com
Thank you for asking.
Thanks for this post. Pls do cassave grow anywhere? Or still depends on land nutrients.
Hi Micheal,
The growth of every kind of farm product is highly dependent on the soil type and atmospheric conditions.
Thank you for asking.
Hi, I have always desired to go into Agriculture however, I am still comtemplating on the particular product to cultivate, the quantity of land to purchase, the cost implication and the location for the farm. I need a guide for the different options of crops with the inherent pros and cons to enable me make a good choice. I will very much love to chat and talk with you on this if you will be available.
Hi Ifeoma,
You can reach me via email at stanley.edom@startuptipsdaily.com or via phone at the phone number listed on the contact us page.
Thank you for asking.
Pls, can u test land soil ?
Can testing soil reduce chemical and fertilizer one needed?
The answer to all your questions is a yes.
Thank you for asking.
Hi Stan,
Great job you’ve done with this write up. May God enrich your life and enlarge your coast as you have done for several people with this info.
Thank you for the kind words Segun.
I wish you the same.
Tanks so much Stan.I’ve learnt alot from this post. I just need a little clarification,u said 25-30tonnes can be gotten 4rm an hectare of land and each tonne cost about 25,000naira. If that is the case how come u said ones profit in an hectare of land may not be up to 100,000naira,when 25,000×30tonnes should be giving about 750000.please clarify me on this. tt
Hi Akuma,
The price per ton varies. And 25,000 is for cassava chips, not tubers, which would be harvested.
Once you factor in all the direct costs and expenses, you’re left with little.
So it’s advisable to go large scale or use high-yield stem cuttings, so you can try to meet the 25 to 30 tons harvest potential.
Thank you for asking.
Thanks for sharing this information.
But i wish to ask if after i harvest the cassava can i still use the harvested stem as seed?
and again, is a plot equivalent to an acre?
Hi Chinedu,
1). The cassava stems can be planted.
2). An acre is roughly about 6 plots of land.
Thank you for asking.
Sir i also wish to ask how a cassava stem can be stored.
Thanks.
One way you can store your cassava stems is by burying them after harvest, so they don’t dry up. They can also be stored in trenches under the shades of mostly plantains, amongst several other methods like roguing.
And againg I already have about an hectre of land availale in Ukwa East, Abia State, and from your land specs, i believe the land qualifies to be used as a cassava farm, because Ukwa East lga is known to have a flatbed landscape.
Sir, pardon me to ask if it is necessary to wait till April before i can plant my cassava if i want to use irrigation farming method. I plan to use artificial water instead of waiting for the rain, don’t know if it is possible?
I really love what you guys are doing, a big thanks to you all. In the future when are investment yield i would really want to have you guys as my consultant.
Hi Chinedu,
An irrigation system is expensive for small farmers and will eat into your profits.
To confirm if the land is fertile, please contact the local agricultural association in your state.
They should be able to help you out better.
Thank you for asking.
Hello, I can say this for sure, what you’ve got on your site is revolutionary and enough to change anybody’s life. Just stumbled on your site and have been going through your articles and honestly at about 12:17am, I can’t hide my excitement cos I found just what I’ve been looking for. I will love to have your thought on Cassava processing in huge commercial scale, if it’s profitable as standalone venture. Picking a start with the thought of the financial implications and other requirements has left me somewhat stuck if not overwhelmed. I will really appreciate a perspective for direction.
Thanks.
Hi Gabriel,
Before considering the profitable scale, you need to consider your ability to build a strong supply chain network.
I’d also advise you carry out a feasibility study before you begin.
Thank you.
Hello Stan… This is such a wonderful piece and I am about to start up my own cassava farm. I just acquired 10acres of land in Ogun state. I don’t have any experience in Farming and I have a budget of 500k for the 10 acres which is to cover all labour cost as well as planting. This is a fertile land cos there are lots of cassava farms around. My fear is how to control pest and rodents and how much do I stand to gain on 10acres. Thank you
Hi Oludayo,
Your yield is relative to the type of stem cuttings planted and your farming practice.
I’d advice you hire professionals to manage your farm at its inception, for you.
Thank you for asking.
without Agriculture what can we do for the life of our country,we thank God for the gitf of Agriculture in Nigeria.
Thank you for the comment, Joseph.

Hi
thanks for the information, can I use half plot of land for commercial farming of cassava?
Hi Wemimo,
You’d achieve next to nothing with a half plot.
The minimum you should consider using is a hectare.
Thank you for asking.

Hi Arinola,
I may not be able to give that answer, but I’d advise you do a market research to get a current figure.
Thank you for asking.
Hi Stan. I can only say thank you very much for all you are doing for Nigerians who are interested in agriculture. May God bless you abundantly and the Holy Book says that “He adds no pain to His blessings.” Please I want to know which is more profitable between cassava farming and yam farming giving that all conditions are right? thank you very much in advance for your response.
My take is Cassava farming.
Ultimately, the strength of your supply chain network determines the returns on your investments.
Thank you for asking.

I am James Mwape, a Zambian. I want to venture into cassava production and processing. I have been encouraged by the way Nigerians handle cassava. My main interest at the moment is in finished products which can be sold by simple businesses. I asking you to give me information on some of these products.
I would appreciate if you can provide me with any information you think can be useful. Thanks in anticipation.
James.
Hi James,
There’s a wide array of processed products like ethanol, flour, garri, and much more that you can get from Cassava.
A google search would be a great way to start.
Thank you for asking.
How can one identify the cassava possessing the qualities you mentioned above in your discussion on SELECTING THE BEST CASSAVA VARIETY TO PLANT?

Good morning Stan,
I am pleased to send you this mail. Hope you and yours are doing great.
My brother has a 53 acre yet to be cultivated land in Oyo state, he wants to go into planting and cropping of cassava, maize and cashew.
What suggestions do you have for him and is it possible to get a robust business plan to drive them?
Warm regards.
Hi Abidemi,
I’d advise he works with consultants to help him setup the farm.
Thank you for asking.
Hello Abidemi, getting a competent consultant or a professional is the best solution on cultivating the 53 acres, However I can be of great impact either as a consultant, professional or any other. I have a cassava farm of my own, and I also belong to a cooperative whereby we are cultivating cassava and maize on 450 acres next planting season. However, so many people lose money in farming due to lack of technical know-how which I can provide like selecting and getting a viable specie of cassava through stakeholders in IITA. conditions to be met for bumper harvest etc. You can contact me Via my email: Oluwafemiakinwa@gmail.com for my services.
Akinwa Oluwafemi, weldone. Please do you have the idea of how much is required to set up a garri processing company? And all to set up a cassava farm?

I really enjoy reading this, I stumble into it while googling on the most lucrative things to plant. I’m thinking of investing in farming even though I have no idea on it, what I have in mind is to grow any of these things: cassava, maize or plaintain. I want to lease about two to three acres of land because I don’t know how expensive buying the land may be.
Please I need advise on how to go about these things as I know next to nothing on them.
Thank you.
