Nigeria spends 1.3 Trillion Naira importing wheat, rice, sugar and fish annually
Key takeaways
Nigeria’s top 4 food imports *
Measure: Annual food imports in billions of naira
Wheat
World’s largest importer
of US hard red and
white winter Wheat
 Nigeria’s food imports are growing at an
unsustainable rate of 11% per annum.
 Relying on the import of expensive food on global
markets fuels domestic inflation.
 Excessive imports putting high pressure on the
Rice
World’s #2 Importer
Naira and hurting the economy
 Nigeria is importing what it can produce in
abundance
Sugar
 Import dependency is hurting Nigerian farmers,
displacing local production and creating rising
unemployment
 Import dependency is not acceptable, nor

Development of Staple Crop Processing Zones (SCPZ)
Key takeaways
Cassava Agro Processing Plant
 Focus on attracting private sector agribusinesses to set up
processing plants in zones of high food production, to process
commodities into food products.
 The government will enable this by putting in place appropriate
fiscal, investment and infrastructure policies for staple crop
processing zones:
 Tax breaks on import of agricultural processing equipment
 Tax holidays for food processors that locate in these zones
 Supportive infrastructure, especially complimentary investment by the
government in roads, logistics, storage facilities and power.
Nigeria Starch Mill, Ihiala
 Infrastructure would focus on power, irrigation, flood control,
roads, rail, air etc.
 Staple Crop Processing Zones will link farmers in clusters to food
manufacturing plants.
 Develop Agricultural Investment Code, in partnership with
Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Trade and Investment and
CBN
 The location of Staple Crop Processing Zones will be dependent
on a combination of State government support and an analysis of
the comparative advantage of the region to produce the identified
commodity.

Support development of private sector driven, public sector enabled
marketing corporations
Leading global examples of marketing corporations
Leading global examples of marketing
corporations
Key drivers of success
 The scrapping of marketing boards during structural
adjustment, without any institutions to replace them or play
their functions, has left millions of farmers in a precarious
situation: market access is a challenge, price uncertainties
and volatility which leave them at the mercy of middle men.
 No developed country has such institutional abandonment
of farmers. We will revamp the functions performed by the
marketing boards, but be careful to ensure that we do not
build non-viable or over-bureaucratic institutions that tax
farmers like the old marketing boards.
 They must be owned by agricultural value chains, run as
private sector led (but government enabled) institutions
and empower farmers and the value chain actors and
generate value.
 These new institutions will be called marketing
corporations and will coordinate the production and/or
export of target commodities. In addition, they will
encourage investment into the sector from R&D to
infrastructure and processing. Finally, they will stimulate
the development of tailored financial services to grow the
sector.

Lessons from a Successful Cassava Revolution in Asia
 The Asian cassava revolution is driven by market
opportunities, particularly the huge Chinese
market, and entrepreneurs
 Market opportunities leads to an investment in
processing capacity
 Expanded processing capacity creates a market
outlet for cassava and income for farmers
 Higher income encourages adoption of improved
production methods - of high yielding varieties and
improved production methods - by farmers leading
to increased productivity
 Increased productivity, reduces unit cost of raw
material and makes cassava competitive
 High productivity and a competitive sector reduces
risks to investment in modern and large cassava
processing factories
 Any other learning experiences???

The Potential of Cassava in Nigeria

Nigeria is the world’s largest producer
with 38 million MT in 2010; up to 45
million MT was produced in 2006

Nearly 90% of cassava production in
Nigeria is for domestic food production

Production is by small holder farmers; a
significant percentage are women
Do
re
o

More than 95% of production and
processing is by rural communities

Nigeria could easily double its cassava
production with improved markets.

Linking Farmers to Markets is the Key to
unlocking the potential of cassava
Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development | 18
Garri Value-Added Chain
 Largest value-added chain, in
terms of volume; an estimated
60-70% of all cassava produced
 Potential demand: 4-4.5 million
tons of garri or 26 – 28 million
tons of fresh roots/annum
Do
re
o
 Inelastic demand; hence cyclic
glut every three years
 Dominated by house-hold,
village-level processors and
trade intermediaries
 Inconsistent quality and low
hygiene
 Different qualities in different
parts of the country

Cassava Value Chains
HQCF
High Quality Cassava Flour (HQCF)
 Principal market –replacement of up to 10% wheat flour in bread; others – food industry,
adhesive industry, dextrins. Demand is over 400,000 tons per year.
Starch
Native and modified starches
 We have two functional starch mills in Nigeria with a combined capacity of 27,000 tons
(although they currently operate below capacity).
 Demand is 230,000 tons per year currently met by corn starch imports.
Chips
Dried Chips
 Principal market – to meet internal and external demand of cassava for industrial use.
China’s demand is expected to exceed 12 mill tons by 2015/16 due to their large ethanol
production. Demand is 520,000 tons per year from China and 400,000 tons
HFCS
Sweeteners - High Fructose Cassava Syrup (HFCS)
 The total sugar requirement for soft drink bottlers and juice manufacturers in Nigeria is
estimated at 200,000 tons of sugar p/a. A replacement of half of this by HFCS from
cassava, would create a 100,000 ton demand.
Ethanol
Fuel Ethanol (E10)
 Nigeria has adopted the policy of blending gasoline with 10% ethanol, the E-10 policy.
This represents a potential one billion liter per year market of fuel ethanol and 3.75billion
for cooking fuel, assuming 50% of feedstock comes from cassava, a raw material
requirement of over 3 million tons of dried chips is required.

Operational Plan – Stimulation of demand for HQCF
 Stimulate demand for cassava bread
 Strong political support for bread made from 40%
cassava flour.
 Bakeries will have 18 months in which to make the
transition, and will enjoy a corporate tax incentive
of 12% rebate if they attain 40% blending.
 All equipment for processing of high quality
cassava flour and composite flour blending will
enjoy a duty free regime.
 With effect from March 31st 2012, importation of
cassava flour will be prohibited so as to further
support this programme.
 From July 1st 2012, wheat flour will attract a levy
of 65% to bring the effective duty to 100%, while
wheat grain will attract a 15% levy which will bring
the effective duty to 20%.
 Consultations with the sector to ensure a smooth
transition are on-going.
 An aggressive training program for bakers on how
to make 40% cassava flour bread.
 Media promotion

Operational Plan – Expansion of HQCF Production
 Expand production of HQCF in Nigeria
 Upgrade and expand existing HQCF mills:
from total capacity of 60,000 to 100,000 tons
in 3-5 months
 Engage private sector to build 12 new HQCF
factories (40,000 tons/annum): total
additional capacity of 480,000 tons/annum
within 12 months
 Incentivize wheat millers and other actors in
the wheat flour value chain in Nigeria to do
backward integration and build new plants
 Develop effective financing mechanism for
plant upgrade, including 40% government
equity participation
 Encourage formation of out grower farmer
network via facilitation of access to tractors,
inputs, finance

Improving Small Farmer Productivity

Cassava is produced by a little over 6
million farm families at an average farm
size of 0.5Ha and average yield of
11tons/ha

Production systems vary from mono crop,
where land is abundant to inter-cropping
with other crops – even rice

Limited use of inorganic fertilizer and
inappropriate cultural practices

Intervention to raise yield include
establishment of over a thousand
demonstration trials of best bet varieties
and increased access to inputs and
finance

The goal is an average yield of 20ton/ha
in 2014.
