Why gari, ‘fufu’ semolina are no longer affordable – NCGA
The Nigeria Cassava Growers Association, NCGA, has given reasons why cassava products are expensive in the market.
President of the Association, Segun Adewumi, said the recent reduction in cassava supply and increased cost of cassava products is due to herdsmen attacks on farms.
He said “garri”, flour, “fufu”, starch and semolina had become more costly, because these attacks caused cassava farmers to stop farming in some parts of the country.
“Also, insurance firms did not compensate the affected farmers because policies taken by the farmers did not cover malicious damage to farms,” he said.
Depending on the location, a small paint bucket measure of cassava flakes, otherwise known as ‘Garri’, costs between N900 and N1,100, while a 60kg bag of the commodity costs between N11,000 and N12, 500 depending on the quality.
