Our Story
IFGREEN’s research shows that there is a huge demand-supply gap for cassava derivatives whether it’s for use as food or as raw material input for the players in the beverages, bakery, breweries, pharmaceutical, packaging sectors amongst other sectors of Nigeria’s economy. Domestic manufacturers are willing to replace the imported substitutes with locally sourced derivatives as this presents significant huge savings opportunities and fewer foreign exchange bottlenecks.
Cassava having been promoted as an industrial crop will meet some of these demands and also through inclusive production and processing will improve greatly the economic wellbeing of a smallholder farmer, create huge employment, and save scare foreign exchange.
Also, sourcing raw material inputs locally has a tremendous potential to bolster the local economy, empower local farmers, create employment and develop the entire cassava value chain.
Since its inception in March 2016, IFGREEN has consistently grown with multiple investments in the development of owned and out-grown cassava farms as well as installation of best-in-class processing capacities in other to consistently meet its raw material supply requirements for its factory.
