Our Story

The founder ignorantly trashed gold for years. He grew up in a family where the father is a faculty in one of the Agricultural Department in my nation’s institution and the recurring food was garri (staple food).
During his visits to his father’s workplace, he saw how cassava was cultivated without knowing their full use. One time he was curious on “there should be more” to just eating garri and the founder came across market studies on the “White Gold” of Africa been thrown into the trash - all along he thought gold can only be extracted from the ground with heavy machineries.
Never in his wildest dream could he have thought cassava being associated with gold and this led him to several months of intensive research on how this can be used to solve problems and improve livelihood.
The founder took it as a challenge in changing the face of African story.

We realize that an average citizen in Africa spend more on daily necessities both for food and non-food products to feed themselves or to use. An average person said it was due to importation- this might be true, but we said to ourselves that many developed countries also import.
We must look at the “real source” and so we met each stakeholder from end users to data of specific industries that need to close, down to smallholder farmers along the value chain in the market ecosystem.

We are building an agro-processing industry coupled with other integrated operations (digitalization) by producing the local staple foods for various African countries with the quality and standard consistency, and production of industrial High Quality Cassava Flour (HQCF), a major industrial feedstock.

Environmental Effect

By-products from various industrial processing has caused a lot of harm to lives on earth and in effect created an imbalance in the ecosystem. We are not only providing jobs for our people but also a good environment to live in- so we look forward to converting our by-products into domestic source of energy which will be afforded at a cheaper rate.
Also converting our raw materials (cassava=white gold) peels into a viable feedstock for livestock industries.

In 2025, we have a vision of making plastic films and moldings (biodegradable) in a bid to reduce environmental pollution and make plastic industries very cheap and affordable by all citizens.

Vision

To be a leading organisation in industrialising agricultural raw materials (Cassava Roots) into food and non-food products in third World Countries.

Mission

To significantly utilise and integrate technological tools across the cassava value chain to solve challenges to promote profitability and sustainability.

Objectives

The objectives of the organisation are hereunder listed
