TAAT Mobile Cassava Processing Plant: Increasing Income and Wealth of Nations

Cassava farmers, especially the large-scale growers, who often face the challenge of selling all their outputs at maturity before the root quality begins to deteriorate, can seek the services of a mobile cassava processing plant to process the roots on the farm when the market price of the cassava product of choice is good and before the roots begin to decay. In addition, the Mobile Cassava Processing Plant can be used to make intermediate processed products such as pressed cake from grated cassava roots, starch or fufu to be transported to a centrally located final processing factory with a mechanical drier. This approach ensures that shelf-stable or non-perishable value-added products of 20‒50% of the weight of initial raw material (fresh roots) are transported from the rural arears to distant markets, thereby reducing the cost of transportation and increasing the consistency of supply of the products at a competitive price and higher profitability to either the end-users such as textile mills, biscuit factories or to marketers.
