EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

GreenHarvest Agro-Processing Limited (GAL) is a proposed integrated cassava chips and ethanol production company to be located in the agro-industrial belt of Ogun State, Nigeria. The business aims to leverage the region’s abundant cassava supply, growing industrial demand for ethanol, and increasing global shift towards locally sourced agricultural raw materials. Nigeria is the world’s largest producer of cassava, yet value-addition remains significantly underdeveloped. GAL intends to fill this gap through a modern facility that processes fresh cassava tubers into high-grade cassava chips and industrial ethanol for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, and renewable-energy markets.

The business will operate a dual-production model:

1. Cassava Chips Production: High-quality dried cassava chips for export, animal feed manufacturers, ethanol plants, and starch processors.
2. Ethanol Production: Fuel-grade and industrial-grade ethanol produced through fermentation and distillation of cassava mash.

Ogun State offers a strategic advantage with easy access to raw materials from local farmers, close proximity to Lagos for large industrial off-takers, an expanding agricultural processing cluster, and a supportive policy environment for agro-industrial investments. The facility will incorporate automated drying systems, stainless-steel fermentation tanks, continuous distillation units, chip cutters, and waste-to-energy technology that converts cassava peels into biogas.

A startup capital requirement of ₦3.8 billion – ₦5.4 billion is projected to cover land acquisition, factory construction, machinery procurement, working capital, and licensing. With a proposed raw material requirement of 120–150 tons of cassava per day, the plant is expected to produce approximately 30–40 tons of cassava chips daily and 25,000–30,000 liters of ethanol per day.

Financial projections show that the company will achieve profitability from the second full year of operation, driven by high market demand, export opportunities, and multiple revenue streams. The business model minimizes waste through full utilization of cassava by-products, making the operation environmentally sustainable and cost-efficient.

With a strong management team, robust supply-chain partnerships, and scalable production technology, GreenHarvest Agro-Processing Limited is positioned to become one of the leading cassava processing and ethanol manufacturing firms in Nigeria and an important contributor to Ogun State’s agro-industrial growth.

2.0 COMPANY DESCRIPTION

2.1 Company Name

GreenHarvest Agro-Processing Limited (GAL)

2.2 Registered Business Address

GreenHarvest Agro-Processing Limited
KM 12, Ikenne–Sagamu Agro-Industrial Corridor,
Sagamu LGA, Ogun State, Nigeria.

This area is selected due to its proximity to cassava-producing communities such as Ikenne, Ilisan, Ode-Remo, Isiwo, and the broader Remo–Ijebu axis.

2.3 Nature of Business

GreenHarvest Agro-Processing Limited is an integrated agro-processing and renewable manufacturing company focused on:

1.     Cassava Chips Production

o   High-quality dried cassava chips

o   Export-grade chips for Asian markets

o   Chips for animal feed producers

o   Chips for domestic starch processors and ethanol plants

2.     Ethanol Production

o   Industrial-grade ethanol (95–96%)

o   Fuel-grade ethanol (99.5%+) through molecular sieves

o   Pharmaceutical and cosmetic-grade ethanol

o   Beverage-grade ethanol (under regulatory licensing)

3.     By-Product Utilization

o   Cassava peels → biogas

o   Spent mash → high-quality animal feed

o   Wastewater → treated for reuse

o   CO₂ from fermentation → captured for industrial supply

This integrated approach ensures GreenHarvest operates a zero-waste production system, maximizing profitability and sustainability.
