….@ Wufas Agronet, we don’t know more than Food.
( We earned “FAO” Top Fan barge ).

With adequate security wherever it is demanded in Nigeria , famine will be checked ensuring an enduring prosperity.

Massive organic commercial farming will enable affordability as it’s the case in the developed clime.

STARCH

Detailed manufacturing process of starch: Production program, Financial Investment, Organogram , Marketing survey of Maize and Cassava starch are available.

MAIZE

Corn – are commonly found in all geo- political zones of Nigeria.Its commonly consumed by the larger population. Investment in maize starch is commercially viable. Research indicates that the Textile, Pharmaceutical, Paper and Food processing industries requires huge amount of corn starch for production. Presently over 98% of corn starch is imported annually from Asia, China in particular.

CASSAVA

Over 90% of various industrial cassava flour are imported eg. HQCF ( high quality cassava flour.), Cassava flour – (an adjunct in the wheat flour mill) , Sweetener- (enzymatic hydrolysis of cassava starch), Ethanol – cassava chips (enzymatic hydrolysis of cassava starch – fermentation) , Caramel, Animals feeds. etc. Cassava is locally consumed as Garri, starch, tapioca and many more in various locality.

SORGHUM

A major cereal mostly found in the Northern axis of Nigeria. The value chains include – Glucose syrup (Cadbury) , malted and unmalted Soghum is extensively used for brewing as adjunct of malted barley(through enzymatic hydrolysis at set temperature. the carbohydrates are converted into simple sugars)

OTHER CEREAL CROPS

Efforts must be intensified on these Millet, Sesame seeds, Acha etc commonly found in the Northern Axis of Nigeria . these food crops are what over 50% of (Nprthern) Nigeria population are feeding on, the availability must be ensured.

LEGUMES

These are different varieties of beans mostly from the North. Consumed largely in the southern part of Nigeria.

TEA – Real tea come from plant species CAMELLIA SINENSIS. others are ORNAMENTAL CAMELIA..
Tea are rich in antioxidants and polyphenol ( Epillocatein Gallelate)EGCG. Three categories of Tea exist., The black, green and white. With lots of pharmaceutical potency.
Tea plantations abound in the North East of Nigeria especially on the Manbila plateau.

SUGARCANE

HUGE Plantation of sugarcane abound in the Niger River Basin, Central and North Eastern zones of Nigeria.
Various value chains are : Crystallized sugar, Molten or brown sugar, Molases ,
Others are Ethanol ( potable and industrial alcohol, through anaerobic respiration), Bakers yeast- sacchromycis cereavisae (through aerobic respiration)., carbon dioxide etc.

CASHEW NUTS

NIGERIA is the 4th largest producer of Cashew nuts in the entire world, while Kogi state produces about 40% of Nigeria’s total. Cashew nuts is an export delight.

COCOA
Cocoa is an export delight in the manufacture of Chocolate drinks and bar.

RICE

Federal government revolution in Rice farming/ agriculture is legendary. From Rice importation of over 1 MMT from Thailand to about less than half this indeed is a revolution. Be that as it may, the affordability must be ensured as the current economical realities is affecting the reach of rice to the majority. More effort is needed on the Availability. If the theme of UN 2030 Food Sustainability is to be ensured the Tripple A(s) of AVAILABILITY, ACCEPTABILITY AND AFFORDABILITY must be ensured.

GUM ARABIC

Commonly found in the North East of Nigeria is awaiting huge exploitation as export produce.

COFFEE

Coffee is the second most valuable commodity after crude oil over two billions cups are taken daily Worldover. In 2015, coffee sales attracted about $48billion in America at retail price of $22 weekly (3times daily ) while world over it’s more.
Nutritionally ,coffee is a potent source of antioxidant and others such as Riboflavin, Panthothenic acid, manganese, potassium, magnesium niacin and of cause Caffeine.with lots of pharmaceutical potency.

There are three stages of Coffee plantation .
Bean growth — Coffee plants flowers 3-4 yrs. after planting , Coffee Cherise ripens 8 months after flowering and changes colour from green to red followed by Harvesting and PROCESSING.
In Nigeria , coffee grows well in S/South (Akwa Ibom) and N/East.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.

In fruit canning, there are Acid and non acid food.
Acid food pH 3.7 (Citrus fruits) are bacteria resistance but must be pasteurized at 100 degree centigrade to prevent yeasts and mould.

Non-acid food pH 4.5 are on border line eg. Pineapple, Tomatoes they can sporulate. The pasteurization temperature is 110 degree centigrade, can sizes determine rate of pasteurization. Over 50% of harvested fruits got perished , fruits Processing is very key to national development in terms of nutritional benefits more Micro and Small scale fruits and vegetables Processing plants are needed.

VEGETABLES packaging can be done through Gasification using inert gas (Co2, nitrogen) or by Vaccum packaging. and maintaining the cold chain regime. Massive Organic commercial farming in fruits and vegetables are export delight.

OIL EXTRACTION

Different types of oils are : Palm oil, Groundnut oil, Coconut oil, Sunflower oil, Castor oil among others. Oils can be packaged and preserve for domestic and export purposes.
Castor oil – application involves Pharmaceutical, enamel, water resistant varnishes, oil paints, printing inks, lithographic varnishes, soap and lubricants.

LIVESTOCK

Adequate database information is required for policy management in this regards. This is possible if attention is given.

CATTLES

Noted for Beef and Dairies.
Dairy – Drinking yoghurt, Greek yoghurt, Fruits yoghurt, Sour cream, cottage cheese, Cheese , butter etc. Lately the largest milk producing company Friesland Campinas Wamco is investing in milk harvesting in south west Nigeria hopefully milking will be developed.
Low Milk secretion of our local breeds must be improved on to ensure profit on investment.
Market for bones, hoof, horns and cow dung (organic) waste for agricultural purposes is increasing.

POULTRY

POULTRY abound all over the country supplying the poultry needs of the nation and beyond. More are still needed.

FISHERIES

Interest in fish rearing is on the increase . however the supply must be upgraded to meet national (population) demand.

Our list of various food / cash crops are inexhaustible we can render account as required

At WUFAS AGR0NET , We are advocates of Food Management system – Tripple S: Security, Safety and Storage , ensuring the Tripple A(s). of Availability, Acceptability and Affordability. We are Always on the field .

The population of Nigeria is exploding exponentially , Security and Massive agricultural potential is needed to save the country from imminent famine.
