Feasibility Study, 10 000 ha of cassava for starch production in Nigeria

Project and site assessment

• General review of the site situation including access roads, available infrastructure and potential investment to improve the site access, 
• Site investigation according to topography and soil conditions, 
• Overall land occupation analysis and mapping, 
• Evaluation of agronomic potential according to expected soil constraints, 
• Collection of additional agronomic, climatic and economic figures for evaluating production cost, 
• Design of critical path for development, 
• Assessment of the productivity potential of the selected crop, determination of the total area to be cultivated, 
• Evaluation of main development’s options and investment advice.

Assessment of soil potential for cassava production

Farm design

• Infrastructure design: general layout with camp, roads and fields access, 
• Management structure: detailed farm organizational chart, 
• Human resources: definition of the project requirements (managers and operators), identification process and selection recommendations, 
• Training: assessment of training programs to be proposed by FGM to the client. 
• Company assets: detailed equipment list and specification for cassava production, including required spare parts, workshop requirements and relevant infrastructure, 
• Cropping program: field map, schedule of cultivation, fertilization program according to soil potential and expected yield, provision of chemicals program, 
• Crop inputs: advice for procuring farm inputs according to technical packages. 
• Development schedule: outline final project milestones and of the development activities.
