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 powder, cassava fufu powder, cassava starch, and so on. Among them, cassava powder production is a very promising industry.

Cassava powder 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 powder to make bread instead of the full use of wheat flour. In addition, cassava powder is widely used in the production of cookies, ethanol and other food products. Therefore, cassava powder enjoys a large market potential.

When it comes to the financial analysis of the cassava powder processing industry, we need to consider several factors: the cost of raw cassava, running costs and the price of the final flour, based on which we can calculate how much profit can be made from the production of cassava powder.

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 powder 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 powder 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 powder production?
