ECONOMICS OF PROCESSING CASSAVA INTO
GARRI AND PELLETS IN KOGI STATE, NIGERIA
Abstract
This study
was conducted to investigate the economics of cassava processing into garri and
pellets in
Kogi State. Data were collected from 100 cassava processors (22 males and 78
females) and
analysed to describe socio-economic characteristics, identify and describe
various
technologies used in cassava processing, ascertain gender roles, estimate the
influence of
socio-economic characteristics on income of processors, determine profitability
and identify
constraints militating against the processors of cassava in the study area.
Multistage
random
sampling techniques were employed in the selection of local government areas,
communities
and processors on who structured questionnaires were administered. Descriptive
statistics,
gross margin, rate of return on investment and multiple regressions were used
for
analysis.
Results
shows that majority of the processing fell within the middle age group (31 –
50 years)
with an average years of processing experience of 22 years; mostly women with
an
average of 8
persons per household and 7 years of schooling. Traditional technologies were
employed by
the cassava processors with low level of men’s involvement relative to high
involvement
of women in cassava processing activities. Six out of nine explanatory
variables
were
significantly related to income. These include; age, gender, education,
experience,
access to
credit and number of labourers in the cassava processing enterprise. Processing
cassava into
garri and pellets were profitable, although processing cassava into garri was
more
profitable with gross margin of 22,700 and profitable index (PI) of 0.04 than
pellets
with gross
margin of 13,100 with profitable index (PI) of 0.33. The major constraints
facing
the cassava
processors in the study area include: poor storage facilities, high cost of
processing
inputs, poor road network for the transportation, bulkiness of fresh tubers,
unstable
weather and shortage of labour. The study therefore recommended that improved
cassava
processing technologies should be made available to the processors to enhance
productivity
and acceptability of their products, capacity building of the cassava
processors
for their
improved profitability in the cassava processing enterprise, regular visits by
agricultural
extension agents for quick adoption of improved cassava processing
technologies,
stabilization of prices of agricultural commodities through the provision of a
functional
marketing channel and provision of storage facilities with good road network
for
improved
production.
