Cassava Pathway links farmers who have roots to sell with buyers looking for them, and links buyers back to reliable local growers. We do not buy or resell roots ourselves; we make introductions, then both sides agree price and quantity directly.
Why Farmers Need This
People call me nearly every day offering mature farms for sale, yet many of them have no regular buyer.
When neighbours dig at the same time, root prices around Ntigha can slide from about ₦7,000 to ₦5,000 per fertilizer bag.
Knowing a buyer before harvest lets a farmer dig only what will sell, instead of watching roots spoil.
Why prices collapse in crowded seasons, and how to cope, is the subject of surviving glut seasons.
For Farmers Selling Roots
- Tell us where your farm is, roughly how many bags or plots you have, and when the roots matured.
- We point you toward processors, garri makers, or traders we know who are currently buying.
- You meet the buyer, agree a price, and decide on harvest timing together.
Some buyers prefer taking an entire unharvested plot, after digging up one or two test plants to estimate yield.
For Buyers Seeking Roots or Products
Garri businesses, akpu makers, caterers for burials and weddings, and small factories all need steady supplies of fresh roots.
Tell us the quantity, location, and timing you need, and we will connect you with established growers in Ngwaland.
Buyers looking for garri, flour, or starch rather than raw roots can ask about local processors as well.
A Word of Caution
We receive frequent inquiries for container loads of chips or starch, and some look more like scams than real orders.
Before any deal, both farmers and buyers should verify identities, meet in person where possible, and avoid paying large sums upfront.
