RE: I Am Proudly Nigerian, Planting And Harvesting My Cassava, And Processing It Into Garri (Cassava Flakes), A year Project
I've been looking forward to seeing this, you have ventured into agriculture in the little way you can and I hope it would get better with time. From pre-planting (tillage), planting, harvesting, and post-harvest (processing), this is a great piece.
It won't be surprising if you become a great farmer with a large farm in the nearest future. What do you think of an Automatic Garri fryer? Would you adopt that in the soonest time? It's quite efficient and scalable. Great one, @ngoenyi.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. Yes, I have seen myself carrying out all the stages of that garri making.
It is my dream to expand my farming ambition. I pray it works out soon.
Do we have such? I have not seen one before. I will like to know if it is affordable. It will really help most farmers in my city.
Thank you so much for checking up on my post @fredquantum. It means a lot
It will. Well done, ma'am.
Yes, we have, as far as many years ago. I have a background in Agriculture and studying and graduating as an Agricultural Engineer gets me closer to mechanization.
The one that can handle up to 1tonne per day would cost nothing less than 1,000,000 NGN, it's powered by electricity. As such regular power supply is a must in your processing factory. Although, I guess I have seen some that utilize domestic cooking gas for operation. I will share a few pictures I took when I traveled home about a year ago, from a popular farm (I had my Industrial Training at their fabrication company in Lagos).
From the last image above, you can see the paddles, angled and it rotates throughout the frying bowl to ensure even frying. It's actually a good technology. Good to read your article once again.
There are a lot more to share, cassava peeler (a machine that peels for you), hydraulic press (to eliminate the cyanide, making the product dry before frying), vibrating sifter (to separate the large lumps after frying) and so on 😆.
Are you serious? Life made easy and simple. If there is a way to get these equipments and pay in installments, it will be great. I wish I can get a sponsor or a partner in this. It is a huge project but very important to farmers. I haven't seen such in this eastern, or south south region or perhaps, that haven't inquired. Thank you so much
Technology has brought in a lot of benefits, and its impact on agriculture is priceless. Alright, you are welcome.
Beautiful! Then I will need to plan towards that.
Wow this is lovely, but will the taste of the garri remain original
Sure, it will. And one of the cleanest Garri you would ever find out there is made through this type of technology, sand-free and dirt-free. I have seen people washing Garri before consuming it (to eliminate sand and dirts), that's not the case here.
Really? I wish to visit the company that uses such machines to fry garri
It's just super cool.
It would be a wonderful adventure if you do.
Sure
Technology has done so many things, since there is automatic palm fruit cutter, there will also be automatic fryer for garri, I will goggle it.
