Garri lines at double shift. Dry air helps the roast.
How we work
Clean floors, steady heat, full bags
Our mill floor was designed by the people who work on it. Peeling, washing, grating, pressing, sieving and roasting run in one line, under one roof, with a quality lab checking moisture and acidity every hour. The roasters run on biogas from cassava peel and on solar power when the grid fails.
- Moisture and acidity tested every hour
- Every bag weighed twice and batch coded
- Roasters fired by biogas from cassava peel
- Stainless steel contact surfaces throughout
Through the year
Processing in four seasons
First rains
Flour line runs on cassava from store and outgrower deliveries.
Long rains
Palm oil pressing season. Covered drying floors keep grain dry.
Harvest
Rice parboiling and milling. Cassava intake rises again.
The process
Step by step
Peel and wash
Roots peeled by hand and machine, then washed twice in clean water.
Grate and press
Grated fine and pressed in bags for 24 to 48 hours, depending on the product.
Roast or dry
Garri roasted in steady trays, flour dried on racks, never on the ground.
Sieve and pack
Sieved to an even grain, weighed twice and sealed with a batch code.

Questions
About processing
Can you mill under my own brand?
Yes, for orders of 20 tonnes or more a month. We handle the packing and batch codes to your design.
Do you add colour to yellow garri?
No. The colour comes from red palm oil mixed in during roasting, nothing else.
Can I visit the mill?
The mill is on the Saturday field walk. Visitors wear hair nets and stay on the viewing walkway.
What is the batch code for?
It tells us the day, the line and the shift, so any question about a bag can be traced in minutes.
