Some of the fundamental considerations to make when looking for any investment areas to embark upon so as to increase local production are

(1)        Availability of local raw materials

(2)        Technology convenience

(3)        Human Resources

(4)        Capital availability

(5)        Infrastructural adequacy

Of all these factors, the availability of local raw materials seems to be the most vital. It is based on these factors that the writer has carried out research and market survey for setting up of this project.

Flour has recorded a very high importation level in this county. Despite the input of few companies like Nigeria flour mills and others, the demand has overgrown the supply, hence some Nigerian companies resort to importation.

The Market Analysis

From statistics, about 60 percent of the total demands are sourced from overseas countries.

Looking at the applications of the flour generally, the demand for the envisaged products of the proposed project remains dutiful.

Flour is used in various projects as inputs or raw materials. It is used in making bread, biscuits (cookies), cakes, chin-chin, puff-puff, pudding, pancakes, and as a substitute for baking wheat flour. With the growth in the numbers of bakery firms, fast food industries, Biscuits producing firms, and other end-users of the product, the demand increases every day.

Our research indicated that this product could be sold to overseas countries located in America, Europe, and Asian countries. That means that flour business has a very good market.

Nigeria starch and flour are regarded as one of the best in the world today and have international demand and respect too. Also, some foreign companies within the ECOWAS region do come to Nigeria to purchase in bulk.

It should be pertinent to mention at the same time that anybody that wants to succeed in this business must not compromise on the internationally acceptable quality.

Raw Material Inputs and availability

Flour could be produced from cassava etc. The machines are made to use any of these products as raw materials. There is abundant cassava in all parts of the country.  There are also various varieties of these products, therefore adequate care must be taken to use the appropriate variety for this project.

The main machinery and Equipment recommended for this project are Peeling machine, Grater, Fermentation tank, Grinder, flash Dryer, Siever, Sealing or Hand Sewing machine, international scale, and other miscellaneous equipment. All these machines can be fabricated locally for any capacity needed.

This plant can produce 2500MT of flour for a year or10MT per day, working for 250days days in a year at 8 hours per day.

By estimation, 624MT of wet tubers would be used as inputs to produce the same quantity.

Apart from locally made machines, there is provision for the use of foreign-made machines by prospective investors. These machines are produced in Europe and can be procured and installed on an agreement.

Production Processes and Charts

The production process for the production of flour generally is summarized below purchase and weighing of the raw materials; Sorting the tubers and washing them; Peeling & Slicing the raw materials into smaller units or pieces; Washing these sliced pieces; fermentation of the sliced pieces and washing thereafter; Grating to get mash either before or after fermenting; Drying and sieving, packaging and bagging into 2kg, 5kg, 10kg, 25kg, and 50kg packs.

The sizes can be varied to cater to individual foreign consumers according to agreed specifications.

Proposed Location

The project can be sited in any part of the country since the inputs are grown in virtually all the states of the federation.

Estimated Number of Personnel

In a small scale staff strength of about 12 would be needed. The number can be more than this if it is planned to operate on a medium scale.

Projected Financial Implications and Analysis

The project can be started with an estimated sum of N16, 750,000.  The cost may be higher than this if the project is to be of a medium or large scale.
