🌿 尼日利亚的木薯产业现状
尼日利亚是全球最大的木薯(又称Yuka)生产国,木薯在当地是主食,可制成Fufu和Gari。木薯之所以流行,是因为它耐旱抗虫。木薯富含卡路里、维生素C,可以替代更昂贵的淀粉如小麦或大米。专家认为种植木薯的地区不太可能遭受饥荒。如今,木薯在欧洲、北美和亚洲市场不断扩大,被标榜为多功能的无麸质超级食品。木薯可以转化为有价值的出口产品,如生物燃料乙醇、甜味剂和像珍珠奶茶中的木薯淀粉。然而,尼日利亚种植的大部分木薯并未出口,因此可能错失了数十亿美元的全球贸易机会。木薯的整个供应链,从农场到工厂,都面临着挑战。例如,木薯需要在不到48小时内加工,否则会腐烂,但大多数加工厂都远离农场。截至2015年,尼日利亚因腐烂而损失了价值6亿美元的木薯。企业家You Missy Iran Loya通过她的加工公司Sultry International解决了这个问题,该公司已经吸引了像雀巢和联合利华这样的客户。
🚜 改善木薯供应链和提高农民收入
木薯是一种原产于南美的灌木,其根部可食用,但生根含有氰化物,可致毒。4000多年前,亚马逊河流域的土著人发现通过磨碎、过滤和烹饪木薯可以使其安全食用。16世纪葡萄牙殖民者首次将木薯引入非洲,1850年代,从巴西返回尼日利亚的前奴隶带来了木薯烹饪方法。欧洲人推动在非洲种植木薯,因为它耐寒,有助于防止饥荒。在尼日利亚,木薯被磨成片状的干粉,称为Gari,因其发酵特性,有助于延长收获后的木薯保存时间。几个世纪以来,木薯根取代了本土的山药,成为整个大陆的主要食物来源。几乎每个家庭都在后院种植木薯,无论是富人还是穷人。尼日利亚每年生产超过6000万吨木薯,但专家表示,木薯农民种植效率不高,因此他们每天只能赚取1美元。由于大多数农民在非常小的地块上耕作,他们无法获得规模经济的好处。大规模农民通常种植更娇嫩的作物,如玉米、稻米或小麦,因为这些作物比木薯更有利可图。种植木薯的人通常是因为他们没有其他选择。木薯可以应对酸性、贫瘠的土壤,需要较少的肥料和水,通常更便宜。但由于土壤不均匀,机械和拖拉机无法到达许多木薯田地,而且由于他们手工收获并种植的种子品种并不产生更多的根,尼日利亚的木薯农民拥有世界上一些最差的产量,这意味着他们每英亩收获的木薯更少。然而,You Missy相信她可以改变这一状况,她在2005年开设了自己的木薯加工企业Sultry International。
📈 木薯的全球市场需求与尼日利亚的出口潜力
全球对山梨糖醇(Sorbitol)的需求预计将随着更多人转向无糖产品而上升。尼日利亚实际上需要进口其95%的山梨糖醇,因为需求超过了生产。由于乌克兰战争导致的小麦价格上涨,人们对木薯面粉的兴趣增加。还有乙醇,这是一种有价值的生物燃料,也用于酿酒和制药产品。一些人估计,仅木薯乙醇生产就能为国家带来数十亿美元的收入。但最后一个问题是采用问题。是的,木薯是一种重要的食物主食,但You Missy表示,尼日利亚人中没有足够的人知道它也可以被加工成有利可图的出口产品。现在,政府已经采取了一些措施来增加国内需求,但专家表示,政府需要投资更多以促进出口。生产者告诉我们,他们希望得到更多的政府支持,比如在农场附近修建更好的道路,增加对新木薯品种的投资,因为You Missy认为Sultry正在证明木薯投资实际上是可行的。我记得大约12年前,农民们有农场,他们叫牛来,叫我的研究所,没人买,但现在我们正在转向工业用途,对作物的需求很高,所以农民可以得到他们作物的好价值。如果尼日利亚能够种植、加工和出口更多,它就能挖掘木薯的巨大经济潜力。我们在世界上种植了最多的木薯,我们现在准备在全球舞台上占有一席之地。

Highlights
Nigeria is the world's biggest producer of cassava, also known as Yuka.
Cassava is a staple food in Nigeria, used to make Fufu and gari, and can constitute up to half of the calories consumed in some regions.
Cassava is resistant to drought and pests, making it a reliable crop.
The root is calorie-rich, high in vitamin C, and can be a cost-effective replacement for more expensive starches like wheat or rice.
Areas that grow cassava are less likely to experience famine, according to experts.
Cassava is gaining popularity in Europe, North America, and Asia as a versatile, gluten-free superfood.
Cassava can be turned into valuable exports like ethanol for biofuel, sweeteners, and starches like tapioca for bubble tea.
Most of the cassava grown in Nigeria does not leave the country, potentially missing out on billions in global trade.
Challenges in the supply chain from farm to factory include the need to process cassava within 48 hours to prevent rot.
Entrepreneur Yemi Iran Loya launched a processing company, sultry International, to address supply chain issues.
Iran Loya's company has landed customers like Nestle and Unilever, indicating a high demand for cassava crops.
Cassava farmers in Nigeria often work on small plots and do not benefit from economies of scale.
Iran Loya's efforts have increased farmers' income from less than one dollar a day to about ten dollars a day over the last decade.
Sultry International has partnered with 10,000 farmers, improving their livelihoods and crop yields.
Cassava is native to South America and was introduced to Africa in the 16th century.
Processing methods for cassava have been developed and adapted across Africa, with Nigeria creating gari and Fufu.
Iran Loya introduced new, stronger cassava varieties and modern farming techniques, such as the use of tractors, to increase harvest efficiency.
Sultry International's innovative approach includes relocating factories closer to farmers to reduce spoilage and transportation challenges.
Cassava can be processed into high-value products like sorbitol, which can sell for over ten times the price of raw cassava.
Despite being the top producer, Nigeria ranks 59th in global cassava exports, indicating a significant potential for growth in this area.
The Nigerian government has taken steps to increase domestic demand for cassava, but more investment is needed to boost exports.
Producers have called for more government support, including better infrastructure and investment in new cassava varieties.
If Nigeria can improve its supply chain and export more cassava, it could significantly benefit from the global market for this versatile crop.

Nigeria is the world's biggest producer
of cassava or Yuka
the root is a staple food here made into
Fufu and gari in some regions it makes
up as much as half of the calories eaten
but he's at home with every part of
Africa
cassava became so popular because it
resists drought in pests
the root is calorie Rich high in vitamin
C and can replace more expensive
starches like wheat or rice
experts say areas that grow cassava are
less likely to endure famine
today cassava is finding growing markets
in Europe North America and Asia touted
as a versatile gluten-free SuperFood
it can be turned into valuable exports
like ethanol for biofuel sweetener and
starches like tapioca for bubble tea
but most of the cassava Nigeria grows
never leaves the country
so it could be missing out on billions
in global trade
challenges plague its entire supply
chain from Farm to factory for one
cassava needs to be processed in less
than 48 hours or it rots but most
processing plants are hundreds of miles
from farms as of 2015 the country had
lost 600 million dollars worth of
cassava to spoilage
entrepreneur you missy Iran Loya says
she's found a way to fix that
she launched a processing company called
sultry International and has since
landed customers like Nestle and
Unilever
but now that we are turning into
industrial use there's high demand for
the crops so farmers can get good value
for their crops
so can Nigeria fix its supply chain
enough to feed itself and cash in on a
global export Market
[Music]
cassava is a shrub with edible roots
that's native to South America the raw
root can be poisonous it actually has
cyanide in it but more than 4 000 years
ago indigenous people in the Amazon
River Basin discovered that grading
straining and cooking cassava made it
safe to eat
Portuguese colonizers first introduced
casaba to Africa in the 16th century
then in the 1850s when formerly enslaved
Africans returned to Nigeria they
brought cassava cooking methods with
them from Brazil Europeans pushed the
cultivation of cassava in Africa because
it was Hardy and could help prevent
famine
during this time new ways to cook the
roots sprung up across the continent in
Nigeria they ground up and dried the
cassava pulps into flakes called gari
because it's fermented gari helped
harvested cassava last longer over the
centuries the roots replaced native yams
as the main food source across the
continent
almost every family have cassava at
their backyard to make Gary or to make
Fufu whether rich or poor today Nigeria
produces more than 60 million tons a
year but experts say cassava Farmers
aren't growing it efficiently so they
take home just one dollar a day
you're farming on really small plots so
you're not getting the benefit of
economies of scale
large-scale Farmers usually grow more
delicate crops like corn rice or wheat
because they can be more profitable than
cassava
the ones growing cassava often do it
because they have no other choice
cassava can handle acidic poor quality
soil it needs less fertilizer and water
and it's generally cheaper to grow but
because of uneven soil machinery and
tractors can't reach many cassava fields
and since they're harvesting by hand and
growing seed varieties that don't
produce as many roots Nigerian cassava
Farmers have some of the worst yields in
the world meaning they harvest less of
it per acre
but yamisi believed she could change
that
she spent years saving up money to open
her own cassava processing business in
2005. sultry International
we started with 17 Farmers the youngest
of there was about 55. some of their
moms guide now blessed memories
[Applause]
she grew Farmers so they could buy and
cultivate more land together like this
nearly 500 Acre Farm
I must have moved from one acre to about
average of about 20 acres today
she brought in haluke adelike as a head
of Agriculture to introduce new stronger
cassava varieties onto her partner Farms
and it is known for his good starch
contents and it has a better huge the
roots are big so you can see it's very
big
timisi has also been able to introduce
tractors on some plots speeding up
Harvest by 150 percent
because these Farms are harvesting more
cassava Embassy can pay more she cut out
any middlemen and directly pays Farmers
nearly four times more than the open
market
Now farmers know how much they'll make
off their crop before they even plant
we've been able to move Farmers from
less than one dollar a day in the last
10 years to about 10 a day today
all of her efforts have gotten a lot of
attention over the last 18 years she's
partnered with 10 000 farmers
at office about 6 000 are men about four
thousand are women
after pulling up a load of massive Roots
workers throw them onto trucks Bound for
sultry's processing plant
ninety percent of the country's cassava
is eaten locally
mostly asgari and Fufu
[Music]
aderoju adijat has been a Gary producer
since 1995.
every day her Factory processes two to
three truckloads of cassava
workers peel and wash the incoming roots
then they grind
[Applause]
press and Fry the cassava to make the
gari's signature flakes
the peeled cassava has to be soaked for
three days to make the staple side dish
Fufu it's pounded sieved and drained
before forming a paste
foreign
sells for five cents a piece you missy
however Envision processing cassava into
much more valuable products like starch
and sweetener
but she faced another big challenge
getting these roots to factories since
cassava is almost 75 water it's
perishable and can spoil within just 48
Hours of harvesting so it basically
needs to be processed in some way uh
almost immediately but most factories
are near cities down long roads in poor
condition
I thought farmers were traveling 200
kilometers 300 kilometers and before
they get there the crops are bad or
trucks are broken down
[Applause]
until recently forty percent of cassava
grown was lost to spoilage and
processing plants weren't working at
capacity
so you missy tried something different
[Music]
try to relocate the factory
a place that was near the farmers
because once it's processed cassava
won't spoil as quickly today sultry
handles a hundred million kilos of
cassava a year at factories like this
one
[Applause]
this is the
area where the reception is done
that's ogubo odega Florence the plant
manager
payloader that brings heaps of cassava
drops it inside this silos
the belt takes the cassava to the dry
cleaner
that removes some preliminary depth and
dust sand
a wet wash finishes the cleaning process
and gets into the peeling machine so
that the further pills can be removed
from the cassava those peels will be
used as animal feed there are cheaper
alternative to corn feed
then the crusher chops the cassava into
smaller pieces
the final process cassava starch or
flour can be made into a number of
products from pastries breads noodles
seasoning for Nestle and tapioca pearls
for bubble tea
this is also the first sorbitol Factory
in all of Nigeria
the sweetener it creates can sell for
over 10 times the price of rakasava
Unilever uses yamisi sorbitol to make
products like toothpaste and mouthwash
imagine how many we are in Nigeria or in
Africa and all the what we thought
imported into Africa come from Asia
and yet we almost brush our mouths every
day whether we are poor or Rich
while huge customers have helped you
missy become one of the largest
processors in the country she hasn't
been able to export much she does ship
her sorbitol internationally but hasn't
had luck exporting flour or starch and
she's not alone
Nigeria is the world's top cassava
producer but it's ranked 59th on the
global list of exporters
in 2021 Thailand earned nearly 1.3
billion dollars from exporting cassava
despite producing less than half as much
as Nigeria
that same year Nigeria earned just one
million dollars
it's not like the demand isn't there
a global market for Sorbitol is expected
to rise as more people turn to
sugar-free products Nigeria actually has
to import 95 percent of its search
because demand outpaces production
Rising wheat prices due to the war in
Ukraine have driven up interest in
cassava flour and then there's ethanol a
valuable biofuel also used in beer and
winemaking and pharmaceutical products
some estimate cassava ethanol production
alone could earn the country billions
but the final problem is adoption yes
cassava is an important food staple but
you Missy says not enough Nigerians know
that it can also be processed into
lucrative export products
now the government has done things to
help increase demand domestically
but experts say it needs to invest more
to boost exports and producers have told
us they want more government support
like building better roads near farms
and increasing investments in new
cassava varieties
because you missy thinks sultry is
proving cassava Investments can actually
work
I remember like 12 years ago Farmers
with Farm they were to call the cows to
call my Institute got nobody to buy
but now that we are turning into
industrial use there is high demand for
the crops so farmers can get good value
for their crops if Nigeria can grow
process and Export more it could tap the
huge economic potential of cassava we
grow the highest amount of cassava in
the world we are now ready to take our
place at the global thing
