A NICHE WITH YOU; CASSAVA CHIPS JOURNEY WITH YOU AND BEYOND

Been a true agripreneur, our journey to building a niche with Cassava Chips is centered not only on profit making but building a niche worthy of sort in the process of profit making.

We clearly understand Cassava apart from been a staple food is a top raw material industrially not only in Nigeria but globally. Apart from the fact that our dear Nigeria is the largest producer of Cassava, we have entered the market to bring our innovation, while we explore and expose opportunities as a top business sector underexplored and equally underestimated.

In a bid to achieve our vision of exploring the market opportunities, we resolved to the production and supply of Cassava Chips majorly to ethanol producers in Nigeria.

Despite knowing Cassava Chips is useful for other agro-industrial uses, which includes animal feed and starch production. Our concentration on chips production for ethanol producers is the strong basis that the sector hasn't been fully explored.

As of 2017, the Nigerian domestic demand for ethanol waa estimated at over four hundred (400,000,000) million litres annually. As at 2021/2022, Ethanol imports into Nigeria reduced to 274M litres, which implied as at 2022, 126M litres were produced locally and to that conclusion, Nigeria hasn't been able to take care of half of her growing ethanol demand. There are empirical efforts that the companies producing ethanol are doubling their efforts to produce more.

For this to be achievable for them, they require raw materials, which is _"Dried Cassava Chips"_ , which means the demand for Cassava Chips for ethanol production will keep increase and expanding. 

Going further, as a business entity our tertiary/ultimate goal is to have our own ethanol production plant and simultaneously run the largest Cassava Chips Production plant. A business model that will keep us a major market influence just like what we have with the emergence of Glo and AirPeace. The model will see us able to withstand what we could be described as "Shark Effect" as obtainable in the recent Lagos-London air travel pricing game.

One of our aims is to create a balance, where growth of indigenous farmers would play a key role in our development. Look at the roles of Psaltry International, presently HA! Maize-In™ is registered as a trademark in Nigeria and one of our products includes "Tapioca" (Cassava).

As we move towards this goal with concerted efforts, may we implore you to join our quest for greatness. This journey has started and getting it right with a proper network really means a lot to us.

Yes, financing and continuous one at that is crucial but I as a person is open to " *mentoring* " from business lovers.

We can't ride on dreams alone, wish can't take us there, we count on you as we walk/work to that height. Tell/tag a friend.

Revolutionizing Nigeria's Cassava Empire: The Aligo Energies Refinery – A Goldmine Waiting to Explode

Image
In the heart of Africa's agricultural powerhouse, Nigeria stands as the undisputed king of cassava production, churning out over 60 million metric tons annually, more than any other nation on the planet. Yet, this "cassava gold" has long been squandered, with over 70% funneled into basic staples like garri and fufu, leaving vast untapped potential in high value derivatives that could fuel industries, energize economies, and transform lives.  Enter Aligo Energies Ltd, a visionary force poised to shatter this status quo with its Cassava Refinery Complex in Alamala, Abeokuta, Ogun State. This isn't just another processing plant; it's a seismic shift in Nigeria's agribusiness landscape, mirroring the explosive success of the newly inaugurated Shea Butter Refinery in Niger State: Africa's largest, with a 30,000-metric-ton annual capacity targeting a $700 million export market. If Shea can catapult Nigeria into global prominence, imagine what Aligo c...

THE PSALTRY EFFECT: WHAT SERIOUS INVESTORS MUST UNDERSTAND

Image
In the last few months, I have engaged more than ten prospective investors. Two of them made a very interesting observation: they quickly referenced Psaltry International and rightfully so. Psaltry is a true benchmark for success in Nigeria’s cassava-processing landscape. However, there is a major gap in how some investors interpret the “Psaltry story" and it’s important to address it clearly. Both investors failed to see the intentionality behind Psaltry’s success both from the founder and the investors who funded it. One of them suggested that we should “work around $400,000.” As much as $400,000 is substantial amount of money, it cannot cover the CAPEX or OPEX required for a minimum viable, sustainable cassava-processing operation. Here’s the reality: In 2013, Psaltry started with a 20-ton/day starch plant, which required approximately 100 tons/day of fresh cassava input. That level of input wasn’t accidental, it was very intentional, calculated and necessary. With ...
