Preface The commitment of Mr President, His Excellency Chief Olusegun Obasanjo (GCFR), towards the revamping of the agricultural sector to its preeminent position in our economy is unwavering. This is attested to by the Presidential initiatives on key agricultural crops including cassava, cocoa, cotton, textiles, rice, dairy, poultry, vegetable oil, etc. In addition, the Commerce 44 Initiative which seeks to develop and promote the export of eleven agricultural commodities, eleven manufactured products, and eleven solid minerals products that have high export potentials to eleven target countries and regions includes cassava. These initiatives are no doubt yielding positive results particularly in the area of poverty eradication, wealth creation, employment generation, and foreign exchange earnings in line with the National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS) framework. The Presidential Initiative on Cassava which came into the limelight in 2002 lS m recognition of the fact that Kigeria is the world's largest producer of the commodity and the country is ahead of other African countries in terms of cassava processing and marketing. The Initiative therefore sought to use cassava as an industrial crop without necessarily distorting the local cassava-based food economy. Therefore, the scope for increasing the use of cassava in industries requires an understanding of Nigeria's informal production, processing, and marketing system as this has obvious implications for cassava commercialization and industrialization. This publication is very relevant at the moment as it represents another important milestone in the development of our cassava industry. It contains an inventory of all rural cassava supply markets, urban demand markets in Nigeria as well as the eight principal cassava-based products that are traded across Nigerian markets. Charts and maps on cassava trade networks, the relative volumes traded between supply and demand markets, and the specific cassava-based products that are traded within Nigeria and across Nigerian borders are presented in the Book. The book is also important to cassava and non-cassava stakeholders alike as it highlights trade in traditional cassava food markets which has developed and maintained long-standing channels with the movement of cassava-based food products from distant markets mostly in south and central Nigeria to net import cities and rural areas as well as to international markets in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Niger, and northern Cameroon. The traditional market institutions and information systems have also grown and adapted to the trade in such perishable commodities such as cassava roots and Juju, for example, to such dry products like gari and flour. Understanding these traditional marketing systems is important as we strive to use cassava as a basic raw material in the food, feeds, textiles, paper, adhesive, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries as well as a substantial contributor to national food security in the country. In our efforts to promote non-oil exports, similar documentation can also be made for other agricultural commodities in Nigeria under the Commerce 44 Initiative. One important lesson from this publication is that there are already dedicated markets for cassava-based products in Nigeria such that the drive towards the industrial utilization of the commodity as a basic raw material should take into cognizance the key actors in the whole commodity chain. Presently, farmers are not producing for the industrial

III


market because it literarily does not exist. The agribusiness and industrial sector of the cassava subsector will therefore have to produce cassava raw material from the farm to satisfY their needs. Otherwise there may be a significant displacement of farmers, traders, and processors whose livelihoods depend on the traditional cassava food market as described in this publication.

The cassava food commodity market and trade network in Nigeria

The transition of the cassava subsector from the fourth to the fifth stage of development is fundamental in the Nigerian context. This is because of the interface between the traditional food and industrial raw material market, and its consequences for food security, farm structure, rural income, and labor. According to Knipscheer et a1. (2004) and Goosens (2004), the challenges of this transition process are: (a) establishing cost-effective raw material supply systems; (b) competition of cassavabased farming systems in a broader context-domestically and internationally between cassava and cereals (feed grains, wheat, com) and their derivates (starch, ethanol, glucose syrups, etc); and (c) cost-competitiveness and efficiency of an infant industry. The market for cassava in Nigeria can be categorised into two: the traditional foodoriented market and the emerging market for industrially processed cassava. The vast majority of the cassava grown in Nigeria is processed and sold through traditional market channels. There are several cassava markets that support the traditional food needs of the ever increasing population especially the urban population. A wide range of traditional cassava forms are produced and marketed, mainly by small informal actors organized in informal supply chains in these rural and urban markets. Presently cassava production is not commercially oriented to serve the needs of industry. The objective of this document is to provide geospatial information on the location and movement of traditional cassava food products from rural (supply) to urban (demand) markets and map the marketing network of the traditional cassava commodity chain in Nigeria. The goal is to inform the researcher, investor, entrepreneur and stakeholders in the cassava business of the complex and dynamic traditional cassava economy in Nigeria. It is by no means considered an exhaustive document as markets and marketing networks are bound to change or collapse depending on several sociopolitical and economic factors. 1.1 Methodology The survey for this study was carried out in two phases. The first phase involved a survey of all the major urban markets in Nigeria. The markets in the cities were geopositioned using GPS equipment. Information was also obtained on the major cassava products, the major source (supply) markets to the city market by volume and product in relative terms, distances of named rural markets, and transportation costs to the city markets using a questionnaire. Data were collected with the assistance of enumerators. The enumerators were trained on the data collection procedure at the Intemational Institute of Tropical Agriculture and were provided with geopositioning (GPS) equipment, questionnaires, and other logistics. Key informants in the city markets provided information. These key informants were usually officials or members of the gari or cassava traders associations in the urban/city markets. These associations were found in all the city markets that were visited in the survey. The major cities that were surveyed in the different zones of Nigeria include: Aba, Calabar Enugu, Owerri, Onitsha, and Port Harcourt in the southeast zone; Abeokuta, Benin City, Ibadan, Horin, Lagos, and Warri, in the southwest zone; Abuja, Jos, Lokoja, Lafia, Markurdi, and Kaduna in the northcentral zone; Bauchi, Maiduguri, and Yola, in the northeast zone; and Bimin Kebbi, Kano, Katsina, Minna, Sokoto, and Zaria, in the northwest zone. The first phase of the survey was concluded in two weeks and the information collected provided data for the second phase of the survey.

The second phase was concerned with the swvey of rural (supply) markets, which were compiled from the data obtained from the first phase. During the rural market swvey, the enumerators encountered more markets than were previously collected from the urban swvey. These markets were also included in the swvey. The rural markets were also geopositioned using GPS equipment. In the rural markets, key informants provided information on the movement (in relative volumes) of different cassava commodities from the rural market to each urban destination (demand) market. Information provided by key informants on the proportion of products moved to each destination market from the rural market was used to indicate the relative percentage volumes traded (see questionnaire in Annex 3).

It should be noted that there are major cassava importing markets located in the rural areas. For such markets there may not be excess cassava products for sale or production or socioeconomic (eg., population pressure on land) conditions are not conducive for cassava production. Such markets were not captured in this srudy. Therefore the procedure we followed gives an indication of the rural markets that supply cassava to the major cities that were surveyed in the first phase of the study. The urban and rural markets swveyed are shown in Figures 1.1 and 1.2. The I ist of the swvey sites and markets are presented in Annex I and 2. Information was also obtained from a farm level baseline swvey of the major cassava producing zones in Nigeria as well as from a rapid appraisal of the cross-border cassava trade market in Dawanau, Kano State . ..

The:: c::assava food commodity marl.:ct and trade network in Nigeria

CHAPTERlWO An overview of cassava production, processing, and marketing in Nigeria 2.1 Cassava Production Based on the optimal growing conditions for cassava, the cassava growing belt in Nigeria can be divided into three regions, namely, the optimal (major) growing region of the central zone, the suboptimal (moderate) growing region of the southern zone, and the nonoptimal (marginal) growing region of the northern zone (Figure 2. 1). [nformation on population, land area and mean annual rainfall figures for the different regions are much higher in the suboptimal than in the optimal growing region . According to Onwueme (1978), cassava grows best in well-drained loamy soils and where the annual rainfall ranges between 1000 and 1500 mm, and temperature from 25 to 29 °C. These favorable conditions apply more to the optimal, than the suboptimal or non-optimal growing regions. However, Stoorvogel and Fresco (1991) observed that comparison between the optimal growing conditions for cassava and its actual distribution in Nigeria and Ghana, seems to suggest that the distribution of cassava could primarily be a function of population density rather than of agroecological conditions; in both countries, cassava is produced in ecologically suboptimal areas.

Figure 2. 1: Map of Nigeria showing the suitabl e cassava growing regions. In 2003 for instance. Nigeria's output of cassava amounted to 28,545,700 tonnes (Table 2. 1), out of which the major growing region accounted for a higher output of 54% than the moderate growing region. which accounted for 45%. The marginal growing region accounted for a minimal proportion of the total output of cassava

(Figure 2.2). Although the difference in contribution to total cassava output between the two main regions may not be significant, probably because of the limited degree of freedom, it is to be expected, based on ecological considerations, that the major growing region would outproduce the moderate growing regions. Ugwu and Nweke (1996) have shown that, in general, non-ecological factors, especially labor saving technologies, are more important in determining the relative importance of cassava in Nigeria than ecological factors . Field observation shows that the application of such labor- saving technologies in cassava production and processing is much higher in the moderate, than in the major growing region. The breakdown of the cassava output in 2003, according to the states that make up the regions, is presented in Table 2.1. Table 2.1: Output of cassava producing states in the zones in 2003 .

In terms of cassava output by states, Benue, with about 12.53% of total output in

2003, is the highest producing state. Kogi State came second, with about 10% of total output in 2003. Both states are located in the optimal growing region. Imo and Enugu states in the suboptimal and optimal growing region, came third and fourth, accounting for 8% and 7.69%, respectively . The highest producing state in the nonoptimal growing region is Bauchi, but it accounted for less than 1% of the total cassava output. Root yield is largely determined by ecological factors. This is underscored by the fact that Osun, Kwara and Oyo States, which posted the highest root yields, are all in the optimal growing region (Table 2.2). In these states, the root yield is at least 170% of the root yield average of 13 .64 tlha for the states in the optimal and suboptimal growing regions. In contrast, most of the states that trailed behind other states in terms of root yield fall within the suboptimal region. For instance, in both lmo and Rivers States in the suboptimal growing region, the root yield in 2004 was less than 50% of the root yield average for the states in both regions.

The overall average root yield of 13.64 t/ha is low, and it is only 57% of the average root yield for Osun, Kwara, and Oyo, the three states with the highest root yield. With improved technical efficiency, embodying improved agronomic practices, use of inputs, and mechanization, yields of above 20 tlha are attainable in Nigeria.

Cassava Growing regions

Figure 2.2: Percentage production of cassava by growing region, Nigeria, 2003 .

The average field area under cassava in 2004 was 0.75 ha for the eight states sampled in the major growing region, and 0.43 ha, for the 12 states sampled in the moderate growing region. That the mean field area under cassava in the major growing region in 2004 was almost twice that in the moderate growing region may have to do with population density, which is much higher in the latter than in the former region. The results of a recent survey (Ezedioma et al. 2006) shows that the mean cassava field area per farmer in Nigeria is 0.42 ha, and that between 1990 and 2004, the proportion of cassava fie lds cultivated by farmers in Nigeria increased from 44% to 62%-an increase of 18% for the period. The mean cassava field area of 0.42 ha seems to suggest that cassava production in the country is still dominated by smallholder farmers , the increasing production trend notwithstanding. Incidentally, these farmers are often constrained by limited availability of production and postharvest inputs, notably, agrochemicals and motorized techniques for processing cassava. Provision of incentives to smallholder farmers will no doubt, help to boost cassava production in the country.

2.2 Cassava processing In Nigeria, cassava is processed into several products that include gari, femlented paste, flour, chips, abacha, and starch. About 85% of total cassava output is processed into the various products mentioned above, and only about 15% is consumed in the fres h, unprocessed form (Ugwu 1996, Ugwu and Ukpabi 2002). Essentially, women and to a limited extent children, are responsible for cassava processing. However, men often get involved whenever any processing operation becomes mechanized (Ugwu 1996). Examples of areas where men have been involved in cassava processing abound in mechanized grating and milling tec1miques. Men own and operate these mechanized techniques on a custom service basis in microprocessing centers located in rural and suburban areas. It becomes necessary to ensure that the shift from manual to mechanical processing does not affect women's employment and income generating opportunities, by taking gender issues into consideration while designing mechanized processing micro plants.

The grater (Figure 2.3 (0Âť) and the press are two types of machinery that have catalyzed the increased processing of cassava for sale in various traditional food forms in Nigeria. They are the most widespread machinery in the processing of cassava into different products and they are found in the numerous cassava microprocessing centers scattered all over Nigeria. Women can also do all processing tasks at home for household consumption and for sale (Figure 2.3b).

Figure 2.3 (a): Cassava grating in a microprocessing center.

Figure 2.3 (b): Processing cassava fiifrt manually at home.

In terms of distribution, a greater proportion of the microprocessi ng centers were found in villages in the suboptimal cassava-growing region in the south. 1n this region, about g I% of the villages in the southwest, 73% of vi llages in the southeast, and about 50% of the villages, in the south-south, had microprocessing centers (Figure 2.4a). Contrary to expectations, only about 30% of the villages surveyed in the optimal cassava growing region had microprocessi ng centers.

Over the years attempts at mechani sing other processing operations such as peeling and gari frying, have achieved limited success in igeria But presently, industrial gari fryers may be available in the market but they are not suitable for use at the microprocessinglhousehold level , where over 95% of the nation ' s output of gari is produced. The cost of owning and operating industrial gar; fryers fall beyond the reach of microscale operators. With respect to mechanizing the peeling of cassava, the nonuniformity in root geometry poses a bi g problem. Several hand- held tools, that are quite efficient in peeling cassava, have however been developed by the ational Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM) and Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO). All that remains to be done is to commercialize and populari ze them Lessons fro m the field survey suggests that in order to improve cassava processi ng and consequently expand field production at the micro level, there is an urgent need to popularise mechani zed techniques for peeling and gari frying at the rural level. Such technologies adapted from Brazil already exist at UTA Ibadan but require massive replication by fabricators and equipment manufacturers.

2.3 Marketing of Cassava Prodncts [n the distant past, cassava production was erroneously regarded as subsistence agricultural activity. Emperical studies (Ugwu and weke [996, Ezedinma et al . 2006) have since shown that cassava production is a commercial activity in Nigeria For the representative villages they studied, Ugwu and Nweke (1996) observed that an average of 55% of total cassava production is marketed. It is al so noteworthy that the trend in the proportion of total production marketed appears to be increasing. In a recent study, Ezedinma et al . (2006), showed that cassava output from 62% of the fields cultivated by rural household in Nigeria is marketed, leaving the output from only 38% of the fields for home consumption (Figure 2.4b). Cassava is marketed in several product [om1s. These product forms are discussed under the section that follows and in the next eight chapters we present in detail the network and location of rural, urban and assembly markets in maps for all the cassava products identified in the field.

2.3.1 Traditional Cassava Food Products Marketed in Nigeria In Nigeria, cassava is a staple food. By definition a staple food is one that is eaten regularly and which provi des a large proportion of the population ' s energy andlor nutrients. Cassava serves this function as it is processed into various wet and dry product forms and eaten by both the rural and urban populace. The dry cassava products are gari. fermented cassava flour (lafim or ell/bo), cassava chips, and abacha. The wet cassava-based products are cassava edible starch, fermented paste, and cookedfitjil. In all , eight traditional cassava products, including fresh roots were identified in the major urban demand centers of Nigeria Other cassava products such as tapioca, kpokpo gari and gl/nldi, are not common in the urban markets that were visited, but they can be found in certain towns like Sapele in Delta State (for kpokpo gari) and Badagry in Lagos State (for tapioca). Table 2.3 gi ves the percentage of the visited urban markets that sell each of the identifi ed popular cassava products.

It is evident from Table 2.3 that gari is the most popular cassava product as it was found in all (100%) the surveyed urban markets. Cassava chips were found in 78% of the urban markets, and fermented flour in 68%. Generally, the information in Table 2.3 tends to suggest that dry cassava products are more popular than the wet product forms . Thi s is probably because the dried products are less perishable, easy to store, and cheaper to transport over long di stances.

2.3.2 Dry cassava products

Gari Gari (Figure 2.5a) is a granulated dry food product processed from cassava roots; it is the most popular cassava product and has gained the status of an urban convenience food in igeria. Gari is processed primarily by millions of rural women for sale in rural markets. It comes in two colors- yellow and white. The yellow gari commands a relatively higher (10-20%) market price than whitegari. This is probably due to the color of gari as a result of the addition of palm oil at the processing stage.

Figure 2.5 (b): Fermented cassava flour.

Fermellled cassava flour Fermented cassava flour is also known as lafim in southwest and eillbo in the northcentral region of igeria (Figure 2.5b). It is mainly processed by women in the northcentral and southwest regions and sold in the rural and roadside markets. Fermented cassava flour (lafimleillbo) was found in 68% of the urban markets (Table 2.3). Cassal'Q chips The chips are processed in several ways and come in several forms (Figure 2.6a). They may be fermented or unfermented peeled roots that are either sundried or dried over the fireplace (Figure 2.6b). They may also be cut into pieces and partially fermented before being dried. Chips are intermediate products that are converted into flour by milling. Cassava chips were found in 78% of the urban markets.

2.3.3 Wet cassava products Cassava fresh roots The cassava fresh roots or tubers are usually transformed into the various cassavabased products through processing. Fresh roots of varieties with low cyanide potential are also roasted or boiled and consumed directly (Figure 2.6c) or they may be boiled, pounded and eaten with vegetable soup. Like most cassava products, fresh roots are also sold in both rural and urban markets in igeria. As earlier shown in Table 2.3, fresh roots were found in 33% of the surveyed urban markets.

Figure 2.6c: Boiled fresh roots. Cassava cooked fiifll Prepared cassavafiifll (Figure 2.6d) is a fermented product of cassava. Until recently cassavafiifll was not usually sold in ready-to-eat forms . This phenomenon arose as a result of demand for convenient foods especially in the urban centers. Consequently prepared cassava fitfi' is found in 35% of the urban markets (Table 2.3). Street vendors and hawkers in the cities mainly sell it. Prepared cassavafitfi' is known by many aliases such as " Ioi loi", "Santana", "packet shirt"and "six to six" ("six to six" in relation to cooked cassavafitfi' means that the fitfi' is a high energy giving food, which if taken at six 0 ' clock in the morning could keep one working without food till six o' clock in the evening). The increasing visibility of cassavafitfi' in urban markets implies that it is a desired convenience food This suggests that promoting the dried form of cassavafitfi' flour will improve the quality and quantity of tradedfitfi' flour in the igerian market. Micro scale technologies for driedfitfi' flour are available (Sanni et aI. 2005) and may help product diversification at this level of cassava processing.

Fermented paste or mash Fermented paste or mash (Figure 2.6e) is the product of grated cassava roots. This product is an intermediate step in the processi ng of gari or fi!fil . It is also produced and sold in many Nigerian rural and urban markets. It was found in 22% of the urban markets surveyed (Table 2.3). Wet cassava starch In Delta State cassava tubers are traditionally processed into starch for human consumption (Figure 2.6f). Edible starch is an ethnic food found mostly among the Urhobo and Isoko ethnic groups in the state. Apart from its use as a household food in these areas, wet starch has industrial and other commercial uses in Nigeria. For example, it is used in the texti le and allied industry (like laundry) for adding value to clothes and in the paper industry. Many of such industries also rely on the local traditional food market as their source of starch. Wet cassava starch was found in 18% of the urban markets surveyed (Table 2.3).

2.4 Cassava p"oducts consumed by rural hou seholds In the rural villages, gar; is the most important cassava product among farming households. In Figure 2.7 the percent distribution of the cassava products consumed! sold by farm households in the central, southeast, southwest, and south-south zones of igeria, is shown. It is the outcome of a survey of 302 households in 20 cassavaproducing states. About 66% of the farmers produce gar; for sale or for home consumption. Figure 2.7 once again illustrates the relative popularity of gari in all the zones, except in the central zone. Gari's share of rural farm household's cassava products is 76% in the south-south, 75% in the southeast, and 68% in the southwest zones. In the central zone, however, gari wi th 27% of farm household cassava products sold/consumed came third in order of importance trailing behind lafim (38% ) and femlented paste (35%). Lafim is also another common product in the southwest, accounting for 31 % of the farm household 's processed products, although th is product is rarely found in markets in the southeast and south-south zones of igeria.

2.5 The Cassava Commodity T rade Network in Nige,·ia Often times, the consumer is separated from the producer by several hundreds of kilometers. This implies the existence of a gap between the producer and the consumer. It is marketing, the business activities involved in the flow of goods and services from the point of initial production until they reach the ultimate consumer (Kohls and Uhl 1980), that bridges the gap between the two interrelated actors. A simplified model of the cassava products marketing system is shown in Figure 2.8. The system is composed of alternative product flows (marketing channels), a variety of firms (middlemen), and numerous business activities known as marketing functions. Within the cassava marketing system, there are markets at three levels, namely, rural (supply) markets, urban (demand) markets, and assembly markets for assembling cassava products before they are distributed to the different demand markets. We are now in a position to examine the sequence of events that takes place from the time the fanner harvests his cassava, until the cassava reaches the final consumer, either as fresh roots or as processed products. After harvesting his cassava, the farmer may decide to sell it in the processed or unprocessed form . Several factors could inform the farmer' s decision, including need for immediate cash to meet household obligations, availability of financial and human resources needed for processing operations, issues relating to seasonality, existence of processing centers, and speculative tendencies. Besides, processing involves adding value to the product and the fanner being rational is expected to weigh the costs and benefits of processing. In practice, fanners do sell cassava in both raw and processed forms . The arrows in Figure 2.8 indicate the channels or directions of alternative product flow. Fresh cassava, which the fanner does not want to process, flows from the fanner to the

16


The cassava food commodity market and trade nehvork in Nigeria

microprocessor or to consumers through assemblers in the village and urban markets, wholesalers, and retailers. Fresh roots can also flow from the farmer direct to the consumer, wholesaler, or retailer especially where the distance between the farmer and the consumer or the middlemen is not important. For instance, farmers in the suburban areas do sell fresh roots direct to retailers or consumers. Even where the distance is significant, wholesalers often develop personalized dealings with farmers in major producing areas. With respect to processed cassava products, the channels are essentially the same with those for fresh roots, except that processed products that do not require further processing and do not flow from farmers to processors. Processed products emanating from processors flow directly from them to wholesalers, retailers, or consumers (Figure 2.8). Farmers (Producers)

2.5.1 Frequency of rural markets In all about 500 rural markets supply cassava products to urban centers and assembly points in Nigeria (Annex I). These rural markets sit mainly every four, five or eight days; markets sitting below four and above eight days are rare (Figure 2.9). Figure 2.9 illustrates that 35% of the surveyed rural markets sit every four days while 32% sit every five days. The 8-day market is more common than the weekly markets. The least common market types are those that sit at more than eight-day intervals or less than intervals of four days. It was further observed that markets that sit every four days are common in the southeast and south-south zones, the five-day markets are

17


Thc cassava food commodity markct and trade network in Nigeria

found mainly in the southwest and northcentral regions, while the eight-day markets are also found in the southeast and south-south.

Trading on gari was the most popular followed by trading on cassava fresh roots (298 or 59.84%) and cassava chips (197 or 39.56%). Dried abacha was the least popular being supplied by 32 (6.43%) of surveyed rural markets.

2.5.3 Weights and measures in traditional cassava food markets In all markets surveyed, many types of containers of varying sizes and shapes were used to sell cassava products at the wholesale and retail levels. The common measures at the wholesale level were bags (ranging from 35, 50, 100, 125 kg), baskets, and basins. Containers used at the retail level include plastic cups and plates, tin cups (margerine and cigarette cans), one liter paint buckets, and the calabash (mudu). At point of sale, cassava products are not weighed, irrespective of measure that is used at the wholesale or retail level. This suggests a complete lack of standards in the cassava food product market in Nigeria.

2.5.4 Barriers to trade In 1999, the World Bank estimated that igeria had over 30,000 kilometers of paved roads. This must have improved significantly since the democratic dispensation as roads were usually considered one of the compulsory "dividends of democracy". The Nigerian road network is considered one of the best in sub-Saharan Africa. However, most feeder roads to cassava producing areas are in bad condi tion, with many of them being un-motorable during tbe rainy season. It is anticipated that wi th a good road network, trade in agricultural commodities and food distribution wou ld be easy. But this is not usually the case, as there are several road barriers mounted by several official and unofficial agencies of governments (including local , state, and federal governments) . The Nigerian police are the most notable and visible. To quote President Olusgun Obasanjo in a National Seminar on Economic Crimes organized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Abuj a, ' Corruption bas weakened the public security system especially the police that came to be known for its pathological fixation on collection of bribes and illegal toll and levies". In short Nigerian intercity roads are relatively good but expensive to use for trade and business. One study (Ezedinma et a1. 2005) observed that the number of police and other officia l roadblocks tends to increase in number on market days in tbe various community markets in Nigeria. Apart from the high cost of running business on Nigerian roads, other problems acting as barriers to trade include non-functional railways and waterways and epileptic power supply. It is important to say that energy supply is instrumental to the development of every sector of the national economy, since no meaningful development is possible without reliable power supply. 2.5.5 Seasons and cycles for cassava based products: the case of gar; All cassava products go through a seasonal pattern over the year in which prices ri se and fall within specific months in the year. In order to describe this situation we use the case of gar; in Nigeria. Gar; is cheapest in the months of July to September, and most expensive from December to April. This is because the prices of cassava roots are also expensive at this time . As the dry season advances from November to March, the soil is caked, and so it becomes very difficult and arduous to harvest cassava roots. This cost is also transferred all the way down to the consumer. Once the rains begin in April, the cost of gar; begins to drop in the urban market as the roots become easier to harvest. As the planting season advances towards the harvest of the first staple crop, maize, cassava prices begin to drop further. As more crops are harvested from July to September, the price of gar; drops to its lowest in the year. In addition, gar; prices a lso show a cyclical pattern from year to year as shown in Figure 2.11 . In Nigeria gar; prices exhibit cyclical peaks and troughs due mainly to the inability of markets to absorb suppl ies. As a result in the years when cassava is scarce the price goes up and farmers are encouraged to plant; production goes up in subsequent years and the price comes down, prompting farmers to plant less until the price goes up again in a cycle of approximately two to three years. Such cyclical changes cause price instability, and significantly increase the income ri sk to producers. However, in real terms (taking into consideration inflation) the price received by farmers has reduced considerably between 1993 and 2000 (Figure 2 . 11 ). The decline in real prices for gar; is an incentive to diversify into the production of other products, such as ethanol , starch, flour, and pellets, which can profitably be produced from cassava. This wi ll probably help to even out prices over time and reduce the two- to three- year cyclical price fluctuations.

2.6 T he size of the industrial cassava m arket in Nigeria The potential growth in the non-food segment of the cassava market is large but traditional cassava products will continue to dominate the Nigerian cassava market in the forseable future . Nevertheless, the Nigerian Government presently considers the development of industrial and feed markets as new opportunities for employment and as the engine of growth in the economy. As the main food staple for urban and rural people in Nigeria, cassava already makes a major contribution to the Nigerian economy. But the market for processed cassava for the industry is emerging. Informed estimates suggest that, at least in the short run, the potential demand for cassava by the industry is about 8.8 million tonnes of fresh roots annually (Table 2.5). Since what is produced is virtuaUy consumed at present, current production will have to be increased by more than 20%, in order to satisfY the potential demand of 8.8 millon tonnes of fresh roots. Assuming a yield of 20 tlha, an additional 0.44 million tonnes of cassava would be required to accommodate the needs of the industry. Domestic production of cassava can be stimulated to meet or even overshoot the above target provided farmers , as rational people, are assured of a market for additional production. UNlDO (2006) estimates that this level of output has the potential to stimulate investments in nearly 500 small- to medium- scale plants in the foreseeable future, with at least 100 such plants in the short run, provided that supporting policy

20


The cassava food commodity market and trade netviork in Nigeria

measures are in place. Assuming an average investment of about N20 million per plant, the associated investment would amount to about N 10 billion in the foreseeable future (or N2 billion in the short run). This value of investment excludes the associated investments at the farm level and the multiplier effects that would be created through other activities and services along the investment horizon.

Technically, cassava can easily be processed into several secondary products (starch, ethanol, flour and, chips/pellets) of industrial and export market value. But the bottlenecks in Nigeria are mainly economic, revolving around insufficient economies of scale, high energy costs especially electricty, strong competition with cereals in a world market, high production costs at the farm level, land tenure, and so on. Viability of cassava industrial initiatives depend on price and consistent availability of cassava roots as raw material, given the fact that competition exists between the traditional food market and industrial users of fresh roots as well as between locally produced cassava derivatives and imported alternatives. At the moment, the prevailing farming systems are not geared towards making cassava roots available as a primary commodity for industrial use at stable and competitive prices. Other industry specific barriers relate to efficient drying systems at the SME level-an important quality related problem. Improve drying technology and quality is improved; improve quality and the cassava agribusiness sector becomes competitive on its own terms. To gain efficiency in the cassava agribusiness sector, Nigeria needs to tackle these challenges in a systematic and synchronized way. It is only when the country has been able to deal with these challenges that they can graduate to higher levels of the cassava commodity chain. The goal is to move away from the production or manufacture of primary commodities in order to isolate the economy from external shocks caused by volatile commodity prices and dependence on revenue from crude oil exports. The scenario today shows that there are only two functional (native) starch factories with a combined installed capacity of about 14,000 tonnes per annum. There is also one pelleting factory, five functional flour factories, and no ethanol factory using cassava as raw material. However, there are concerted efforts at investments in the development of starch, ethanol, animal feed pellets, and flour processing factories in various parts of the country; thus suggesting that the industrial cassava market is an emerging market. Three stakeholders are critical for Nigeria to attain a competitive goal in the industrialisation of its cassava subsector-an organized private sector, a benevolent government policy environment, and a responsive research system.

CHAPTER THREE The gari trade network The marketing channel for the different cassava products was shown and discussed in the prceeding chapter. In this and subsequent chapters, we want to show, for each major product, the distribution of the source (rural) markets and the destination (urban) markets supplied by these feeder (rural) markets. Our analysis starts with gari, the most popular and the most widespread processed cassava product.

In the absence of easily applied standards for defining the quality of gari, consumers rely on the color, taste, and texture of gari as bases for assessing its quality. Although gari is marketed in two colors (yellow and white), what matters is not the color per se, but the brightness of the yellow or white color. The brightness of the color of gari is important because the buyer has to visualize it before deciding whom to buy from. The taste of the gari is either sour or slightly sweet and this is controlled by the length of time the grated cassava mash is left to ferment before it is toasted into gari. Sour gari, typical of "Ijebu gad' (gari from Ijebu land) is a product of long fermentation that lasts for six or more days. Slightly sweet gari is as a result of pressing the wet cassava mash soon after grating, leaving little or no time for fermentation. The usual practice is to allow the grated cassava mash to ferment for about two days before it is pressed and toasted into gari. Texture is an important factor because when gari is prepared into juju, it is molded between the fingers before it is swallowed with vegetable soup. Gari with good texture is smooth and binds well when molded. It is this quality that makes "Bendel gari" (gari from the defunct Bendel state, now Edo and Delta states) quite popular among many consumers. We have gone into detailed analysis of the attributes of gari as desired by consumers in order to account for the differences in the number of destination (urban) markets for gari from the different feeder (rural) markets. The major rural and destination markets for gari are shown in Figure 3.1(a). The red dots represent the rural source markets and the yellow triangles, the destination markets for gari, which are mainly urban and semi urban city centers.

Figure 3. I(b) shows that the largest number of gari supplying rural markets is found in the central state of Benue, the southwest states of Oyo and Ogun, and the southsouth states of Delta and Edo. In these areas, the number of identified gari supplying rural markets were in the 85- 240 range. The range decreased to 55- 84 in the northcentral state of Kogi, south- east state of Enugu and in the southwest state of Osun. With respect to urban gari consumption, Figure 3. 1(a) also shows that majority of the destination markets are located in the south and central zones, although many states of the northern zone also have urban gari markets. The density (in terms of number per state) of the destination markets is presented in Figure 3. I(c).

Figure 3. I(c): Frequency distribution of gari destination markets in

Igena

Figure 3. 1(c) shows that the states with the highest number of destination (urban) markets include Lagos and Oyo (southwest), with a range of 139-238. 1n contrast, the density of destination markets is quite low in Kano (northwest), Kwara and Kogi (northcentral), Ondo (southwest), Enugu and Anambra (southeast), and Rivers (southsouth). In these areas, the range in the number of destination markets is only between 34 and 63 . Among the factors that may underIy the density of destination markets are rate of urbanization, population density, and! or differences in food habits. For instance, Kano State may be quite populous, but rate of urbanisation (number of urban centers within the state) is low, and cereals playa more dominant role in the diet of the people than roots and tubers. In Figure 3.2, the percentage distribution of feeder markets relative to the urban markets that supplied gari, is shown. Gari with popular brand names, such as "[jebu gan" and "Bendel gad' may find its way to more than six urban markets, while the non- branded gari is less fancied and has limited number of urban markets where it is 25


Thc canava food com modity market and trade nCCn ork in Nis cria

demanded. Hence in Figure 3.2, about 17% of the rural (feeder) markets supply gari to more than six urban markets. Such feeder villages are located in areas that produce gari that is quite popular among consumers. Generally, as the number of urban markets per feeder market decreased from six to three, the proportion of feeder markets increased from 26% to 35%, showing that gari from most feeder markets is not as popular among consumers as " Bendel" or " Ijebu" gari. It is also seen in Figure 3.2 that 22% of the feeder markets supply gari to only one or two urban markets. This implies that gari from these feeder markets is not quite popular among consumers, and that consumers in the destination (urban) markets do not appear to bother much about branded gari.

Figure 3.2: Percentage distribution of feeder (rural) markets by number of urban markets supplied with gari. 3. 1 etwork ofgari supplying markets and their respective destination (urban) markets. The distribution of feeder markets to each of the twenty-one major cities in the country is shown by proportion of gari supplied, in Figure 3.3 (a) to Figure 3.24 (a). In addition, the location of the feeder markets to each of these major destination markets is also shown in Figures 3.3 (b) to 3.24 (b). The gari that is consumed at FCT comes mainly from feeder markets that are located in Edo and Kogi states (Figure 3.3 (b) . On the average, about 25% of the volume of gari from these feeder markets finds its way to FCT (Figure 3.3(0) . Generally, these major destination (urban) markets can be divided into two, based on whether they are located in the root crop zone or in the grain crop zone. Destination (urban) markets that are located in the root crop zone, such as Lagos, lbadan, Benin city, and Enugu, have their feeder markets doned either within their own state or surrounding states that are important in terms of gari production. For instance, Enugu as a destination (urban) market is located both in the root crop zone and in the main gari producing area. Its numerous feeder markets are located mainly in Enugu State

26


Thc cassava food commodity markct and tradc nctwork in Nigeria

and, to a limited extent, in the neighboring Ebonyi, Kogi, and Benue states. Again it is important to note that Lagos has the bighest number of feeder markets (94) and the feeder markets that supply gari to Lagos are located within two distinct areas in the root production zone. As for destination (urban) markets in the grain crop zone, where gari is relatively less important in the diet, except for non- indigenous population from the root crop zone, the number of feeder markets is relatively few and these markets are located far away from the destination markets. Sokoto as an urban market, for instance, has only four feeder markets located in far away Benue, Edo, and Taraba states (Figure 3.2 (a) and (b禄). However, Kano as an urban market in the grain crop zone, has 51 feeder markets located in far away states of Benue, Edo, Kogi, and Taraba (Figure 3.23(b)). Kano metropolis has a large population of nonindigenes that come from the root crop zone, and for whom gari is a major food staple. Secondly, Kano is a major cross-border trade rou te for gari to the Sahel ian countries (see Chapter II ). Following is a presentation (Figures 3.3(a) to Figure 3.24(b)) of the gari trade network and the location of the rural feeder markets for 22 Nigerian cities. 32路Ycruwata (Bcnuc) 31-Uzairue (Edo) 30-Urhonigbe (Edo)

3.2 Assembly markets for gari The market for gar; is characterized by perfect competition in the sense that there are many buyers and sellers none of whom is in a position to influence marketing transactions by refusing to either sell or buy. As was shown earlier, gari is produced by numerous smallholder units that sell gari essentially in village markets. In major gari producing areas, there is usually a big market which acts as a collection or assembly center for gari from the numerous surrounding smallholder units. Such assembly markets are generally well attended by traders from far and wide, especially those markets that are well known for the supply of top quality gar;. We shall group and discuss the assembly markets based on the numbers of urban markets served. •

Assembly markets that obtain their supplies of gar; from the surrounding feeder markets and supply five or more urban markets. The location of these markets and the urban markets served are shown in Figures 3.25(a) and (b) to Figures 3.32(a) and (b). Eight such assembly markets, with four of them located in Benue State, three in Delta State, and one in Edo State, were identified during the survey. These markets are reputed for large volumes of trade and top quality gar;. Ewohimi and Oyoko assembly markets (both in Delta State) supply 50/0--30% of the volume of gari traded, to each of the seven urban markets that they serve (Figures 25(a) and 26(a)). On the other hand, Edum Afor (Delta State) and Ugo (Edo State) assembly markets supply gari to five urban markets (Figures 3.31(a), (b) and 3.32(a). Field observations seem to suggest that the number of urban markets served may be a function of the volume of gar; traded, gari quality, and traders' preference for particular markets. • Assembly markets that serve three or four urban markets. Again eight such assembly markets were identified across the states of Delta, Edo, Enugu, Cross River, Ogun, and Taraba (Figures 3.33(a) and (b) to Figures 3.40(a) and (b)). • Assembly markets that supply only one destination (urban) market: These markets, about six in number, are located in Ebonyi, Adamawa, Nasarawa, and Taraba State (Figures 3.4I(a) to (I). Analysis of the location of these markets relative to the urban markets served shows that, in most cases, the supply markets are close to the urban markets they serve. It is striking to observe that the supply markets in each case deal with only one destination market. This may have to do with the fact that the volume traded is likely to be relatively small and, as a result, middlemen do not consider it profitable to get into such markets. • Destination markets that are supplied gari by a cluster of feeder markets: These destination markets, such as Benin City, Enugu, and Abeokuta, are stategically located in the midst of a cluster of feeder markets that supply them with all the gad from those markets (Figures 3.42(a) to 3.47(a). That is to say that these feeder markets do not supply gar; to any other town/city except the one closest to them. Since the destination (urban) markets are large and unsaturated in the sense that these urban markets still receive supplies from other areas, there is no rationale for the cluster of feeder markets to think about other demand markets.

(ii)

(iii)

Feeder markets to more than five destination markets . These include Moniya assembly market in Oyo State and Meihulu assembly market in Taraba state. These assembly markets supply fermented flour to more than five urban markets. Moniya sources the product from rural markets situated in neighboring conununities in Oyo State and supplies to markets in [badan the capital city of Oyo State. The markets that supply Moniya include Jjaiye (20%), Atan-Minni (10%), Banni (10%) , [seyin (10%), [ware (10%) and Bas i (5%). Moniya supplies 45% of its fermented cassava flour to Bodija, 20% each to ljaiye and Oje, 10% each to Eleyele, OjaOba, and Ojoo markets, and 5% to Sango (Figure 4.(6) . Meihuhu supplies 10 markets with fermented cassava flour. Out of the 10 markets, three each are in Bomo and Taraba State, while one each in Kano, Gombe, Nassarawa and Adamawa states. Meihuhu supplies 25% to Maiduguri , 15% each to Yola and Gombe, 10% each to Kano and Jalingo, and 5% each to Garba, Gembu, Katsina Ala and Gasau (Figures 4.17 (a) and (b» . Assembly markets that supply fermented flour to two to five urban markets. These markets include Achoho and Aliade markets in Benue State, with each of them supplying at least 20% of its flour to Jos, Markurdi and Kano (Figure 4. 18(a» , lshibori feeding Kano and Jankara urban markets, and Okuku (Cross River State), which supplies flour to five destination markets- Jankara, Jalingo, Takum, Gombe and Abakaliki . The proportion of fermented flour from each of these assembly markets to the respective destination markets is shown in Figure 4.18(a). The last assembly market in this category is Okura in Kogi state, and it supplies about 30% of its flour each to Ankpa, Makurdi, and Anyagba, and 10% to Onitsha (Fi gure 4.19(a» . The location of the various assembly and destination markets are shown in Figures 4.18(b}--4.2 1(b). Assembly markets that supply all their fermented flour to only one destination market. Eyenkorin, Taiwo, and Baboko (all in Kwara state) supply 100% of their flour production to lIotin (Figure 4.22(a» while Kurgwi and Sopp in Plateau State supply all their fl our to Jos (Figure 4.22 (b» . Similarly, 100% of the flour from Wamba (Nasarawa State) is supplied to Kano (Figure 4.22 (c» .

CHAPTER FIVE

The cassava chips trade network Cassava chips ate an internlcdiate product used to prepare cassava flour fo r food and is sometimes used in animal feed industries. The major sources of cassava chips arc the north central and western parts of Nigeria. These areas correspond to the optimal cassava producing zones and fall within the savanna agroecology. Chips like gari is a widely traded cassava product in Nigeria . Two distinct markets were identified for cassava chips in Nigeria: namely, an urban dem and market and assembly markets Located especially in the central and western zones of Nigeria.

CHAPTER SIX The abacha h'ade network Abacha is one of the four dry cassava products. Like other products the distribution network for abacha consists of a rural- urban and rural-assembly-destination market arrangement. The commodity is found mostly in the southeast states, Delta and Edo states, and there is also some production in Kogi State. Figures 6. 1(a) and 6.1(b) show the density of the source and destination markets for abacha by states in igeria Following is a description of the assembly market for abacha, a roadside market, and the rural- urban network .

Figure 6.2(b): Abacha distribution network involving an intermediary (assembly) market. 6.2 Umunede-a roadside market Umunede is located on a trunk A road between Benin City and Onitsha. It is a popular roadside market even though it is located in the rural countryside of Delta State. The trunk A road is also the major link road between the southeastern states and the western states including Lagos. However, observation indicates that it attracts a lot of demand for cassava-based products from travellers, and so it is a major demand market. It obtains its supplies of abacha from eight neighboring markets within Delta State as depicted in Figures 6.3 3 and 6.3b.

CHAPTER SEVE The fresh root trade network Fresh cassava roots, with about 70% water content, are bulky and therefore expensive to transpon especially over long distances. The roots are also perishable, and they begin to deteriorate soon after harvest. These features are expected to have a profound bearing on the trade network for the roots. For instance, the bulky nature of the roots makes the market for fresh roots more localized around the producing areas than the market for the processed cassava products. Also, the perishability factor makes the marketing process considerably shoner for fresh roots than other cassava products.

The c ....v. food commodity m.rket .nd Iradc network in Nigeria

The trade network for fresh cassava may be examined in terms of (i) bulk building and distribution network involving rural assembly market and destination market and (ii) network offeeder to urban markets. Bulk building and distribution network involving rural assembly market and destination markets. In this regard, two types of assembly markets can be distinguished. a) Rural assembly markets that receive cassava supplies from producers and distribute same to other markets. Examples of such markets include Oko (Oyo state), Aramoko (Ekiti State), Gambari (Kwara State), and Oyoko and IsselleUkwu (Delta State). Located in the major producing areas, these rural assembly markets are surrounded by five to eight feeder markets. In their own rum, these assembly markets supply fresh cassava roots to two or more destination markets, either within or even outside the state. The proportion of cassava roots supplied to, and distributed by the different assembly markets are shown in Figures 7.4(a), 7.6(a) 7.30(a), 7.3 I (a), and 7.32(a). The proportion of cassava supplies from the feeder to assembly markets ranges from 10% to 60%. The range of supplies from the assembly to destination markets falls between 5% and 60%. These proportions are affected by the volume of processing taking place locally and the number of markets catered for. I.

b) Rural assembly markets with multiple links. In certain cases, some assembly markets playa dual role of an assembly market and a feeder market. As an assembly market, they receive supplies of cassava roots from several rural markets and distribute these to some destination markets. After receiving supplies from feeder markets, they may also act as a feeder market to one or more assembly markets. This results in a complex chain or network of supply and demand for roots. In Figure 7.5, lresa-Adu in Oyo State, for instance, receives supplies of cassava from four feeder markets in Oyo State. It supplies about 20% of its cassava roots to Ogbomosho, a destination market, and 5% and 10% respectively to Ajaawa and Odogbo, which are both assembly markets. While Odogbo supplies all its cassava to Ibadan urban market, Ajaawa distributes 80% of its cassava to Odo-oba, and another 10% to JresaApa. Odo- oba further receives 50% and 60% of cassava roots from two other feeder markets in Oyo, and another 20"10 from Iresa-Apa (an assembly market). It distributes about 20% and 10% of its cassava supplies to Ogbomosho and Ibadan urban markets, respectively (Figure 7.5). It is pertinent to observe that complex as it may appear to be, Figure 7.5 is by no means exhaustive; in fact, certain intermediary markets had to be deliberately excluded to make for clarity. 2. Network of feeder to urban markets. For the sake of clarity, distinction is made between the rural-urban distribution network involving nearby markets, and that which involves distant markets. The former type is the most common, principally because of the bulky narure of cassava roots. Essentially, it involves the movement of fresh roots direct from the surrounding feeder market in the cassava producing areas to the adjoining urban markets. The sheer size of the fresh root market in the

158


The cassava food commodity market and trade network in Nigeria

urban areas, the price margin, and the prox imity of such markets help to attract large quantities of fresh roots from several directions to urban areas . We sha ll consider specific areas. Figures 7.7, 7. 11, and 7.34, all show a network of rural markets supplying Enugu urban market with fresh cassava roots. These figures clearl y indicate that the proportions of cassava supplies from these feeder markets vary from 10% to 100%, depending on the absolute distan ce from the feeder to the urban market at Enugu, level of accessibility to the feeder markets, and price margin between the feeder and the urban markets. The fresh cassava market situati on in and around Enugu is virtually the same with the situation in and around other places in the major cassava producing areas. Figure 7.8(a) shows that out of the seven feeder markets to Benin city, six of them are located in Edo State, leaving on ly one in Delta State. The proportion supplied from the feeder markets again ranges from 10% to 100%. In the case of the Asaba urban market in Delta State, the number of its feeder markets is as high as 18, with the highest proportion of 40% coming from three feeder markets in Utenin, Abara Obodo, and Isselle Ukwu (Figure 7.10(aÂť. Figures 7.9(a), 7. 14(a), 7.15(a), 7.16 and 7.27, show the corresponding feeder market for Gusau, Katsina, Warri, SOkOIO, and Abakaliki, respecti vely. Although, fresh cassava roots may be bulky, good market access and a high marketing margin between the feeder and urban markets can cause the movement of rhe bulky cassava roots from the feeder markets to distant urban markets . In Figure 7.2, Koton Karfe in Kogi Stare, for instance, supplies 40% of its fresh cassava roots to Lokoja and 20% each to Abuja, Kano, and Minna. Similarly Girinya also in Kogi State supplies about 30% of irs cassava to Lokoja, 20% to Abuja, 10% to Kano, 20% to Kaduna, and 10% to Minna. Figure 7.3 also shows that Makurdi, Onitsha , and Okene urban markets receive different proportion of fresh cassava from feeder markets located within and outside their individual states. Other cities and their feeder markets, including the proportion of cassava roots from each feeder market, are presented in Figures 7. 13 and 7.17(a) to 7.26. [n each case, the principle governing the supply of the cassava roots from the feeder markets in the producing areas to distant urban markets, remains the same as discussed above.

In summary, cassava roots from the optimal growing central region IS distributed in two main directions, southward to the urban areas in the suboptimal growing region, and northwards to the urban markets in the nonoptimal growing region. There is also a considerable measure of movement of cassava roots from the surplus producing areas of Delta State to urban market in tbe southeastern states, and from the rural markets to urban markets within the southwestern states.

CHAPTER EIGHT The cassava fermented paste trade network

Cassava fermented paste (akpu) is one of the four cassava wet products found in urban and rural markets. It could be a product of cassava grating or washed paste from soaked and fermenented cassava tubers. Usually, the paste is an intermediate product and could be transformed intofiifu at food preparation stage. It has been shown earlier in Table 2.4 that 37"10 of the surveyed rural markets trade in fermented paste. This chapter is devoted to the trade network of this wet cassava product. First, we capture the density of the rural source and urban destination markets for this product.

Figure 8. 1(a): Major rural sources and destination markets for fermented paste in Nigeria Contrary to expectations, cassava fermented paste travels far beyond its area of production/processing. This is depicted in Figure 8.1 (a). The figure shows that the major supply markets are located in the south and central region of Nigeria. The major demand markets are also located in the south and central regions as well as in the far northern region where the commodi ty is hardly produced or processed. Specifically the major source markets for fermented paste are located in Benue, Edo, and Ogun states. Other supply markets of commercial importance are located in Taraba, Anambra, Nasarawa, Kogi, Ondo, Bayelsa Cross River, and Rivers states (Figure 8.1 b). The major consuming markets are located in Lagos, Delta, and Benue states (Figure 8.lc). Other important consuming states are Anambra, Edo, Kano, Abuja, Ogun, Bayelsa, lmo, and Abia. Demand markets for fermented cassava paste also exist in Adamawa, Bomo, Kaduna,and Plateau states.

The cassava food commodity market and trade nelwork in Nigeria

Having considered the major producing and consuming areas for fennented paste, we shall now examine its trade network . This will be done in two sections, namely, ruralurban supply network, and bulk building and distribution network . Rural-urban supply network for fermented paste About 12 rural markets in Benue State supply fennenled paste directly to six urban markets in Nigeria. The number of feeder markets supplying fennented paste to these urban markets is largest for Enugu, Onitsha, and Aba, and least for Calabar and Port Harcourt. Tbe proportions of fennented paste from the various feeder markets to each urban market are shown in Figure 8.2. These proportions range from 10% to 30% for Enugu, Aba, and Onitsha urban markets, and from 5% to 30% for Makurdi and Port Harcourt urban markets. The number of feeder markets in Benue State and the proportions of fennented paste supplied to the di fferent urban markets do confinn the earl ier observation that Benue State is a major producer of this cassava product. In addition to the feeder markets in Benue State, other rural markets elsewhere also supply fennented paste, not only to the above stated urban markets, but also to other urban markets. These urban markets number 13, with seven of them in the southern zone, four in the central zone, and the remaining two, in the upper northern zone. Starting with the southern zone, about 13 feeder markets supply fennented paste to Aba in Abia State, with four of them-Acholo, Adikpo. Ugbokolo and Zaki Biamsupplying 30% each of fennented paste, and the rest, 10- 20% each (Figure 8.4(a)). Figure 8.4(b) shows that eleven of these feeder markets are in Benue State and the remaining two, are in Edo State.

Akwa Ibom has only six rural markets supplying it with fennented paste. Five of them are located in Benue State, and the sixth one, Wukari in Taraba State (Figure 8.6b). Each of these feeder markets supplies between 10% and 30% of its fennented paste to Awka (Figure 8.6a). With about 32 feeder markets, the Enugu urban market appears to have the largest concentration of feeder markets. All the feeder markets that supply Enugu with fennented paste except U gwogo in Enugu State and Anyamgba in Kogi State, are located in Benue State (Figure 8. I O(b)). The proportion of fennented paste fro m each market ranges from 10% to 40% for 26 of the feeder markets, and 50% or more, for the remaining six (Figure 8.1 Ora)). The number of feeder markets supplying fennented paste to Onitsha and Port Harcourt urban markets is also considerably high, about 27 fo r Onitsha and 15 for Port Harcourt. Hitherto, Benue State had played a dominant rol e in relation to the location of feeder markets supplying fennented paste to urban markets down south. However, with respect to Onitsha and Port Harcourt, the proportion of their feeder markets located in Benue State is about 40% and 20%, respectively (Figures 8.13(b) and 8.14(b)). This time, Delta and Edo states tended to playa more significant role, in tenns of the location of feeder markets, than Benue State. This is probably because Delta and Edo states, like Benue State, are major fennented paste producers, and are closer to Onitsha or Port Harcourt urban markets than Benue State. Fennented paste is bulky,

193


The cassava food commod ity market and trade network in Nigeria

and its feeder markets tend to locate closer to nearby urban markets than those far away. In terms of the proportion of fermented paste from feeder to urban markets, the range followed the trend observed earlier; the feeder markets generally supplied between 10% and 40% of fermented paste each to their respective urban markets (Figs 8.13(a) and 8. 14(a)). Feeder markets in Benue State do not supply fermented paste to urban markets in the southwest zone, probably because the zone appears self sufficient in fermented paste production. The Benin City and Asaba urban markets also have a large concentration of feeder markets numbering about 17 and 22, respectively. In both cases, the feeder markets are located close to a nearby urban market. For instance, most feeder markets, which supply fermented paste to Benin-city urban market, are located in Edo State (F.g 8.7(b)). Simi larly, 21 out of the 22 feeder markets supplying fermented paste to Asaba urban market are located in Delta State (Figure 8.9(a)). In terms of the proportion of fermented paste supplied from each feeder market, about II of them supply all their fermented paste to the urban market in Benin-city, while each of the remaining six supplies between 20% and 50% (Figure 8.7(a» . As for Asaba urban market, the proportion of fermented paste from each feeder market is more and ranges between 10% and 50%. However, there are two except ions; Ogwashi-Ukwu and Uzugoro feeder markets supply 60% and 80% of their fermented paste, respectively, to the Asaba urban market (Figure 8.9(a». [n the central zone, Abuja has 14 feeder markets that supply it with fermented paste, with eleven of them located in Edo State, and the remaining three in Benue State (Figure 8.S(b). Three of these feeder markets, namely, Afuze, Ekpoma, and Uzairue, supply about 30% each, while each of the remaining ones supplies 10% to 20% of its fennented paste to Abuja (Figure 8.5(a»). Makurd i urban market has about 27 rural markets supplying it with fermented paste, and all of them are located in Benue State (Figure 8.11(b)). About six of these feeder markets supply all their paste to the Makurdi urban market, while each of the remaining ones supply between 5% and 50% of its fermented paste (Figure 811 (a». Both Kaduna and Jos urban markets are supplied fermented paste by a few feeder markets, lIumbering about eight and five , respectively. In addition to being few in number, the proportioin of fermented paste supplied by each feeder market is 30% or less, except for Agbede feeder market in Edo State, which supplies about SO% of its paste to Kaduna urban market (Figures 8.8(a) and 8. I 5(a) . Both Kaduna and J05 fall in the grain crop zone, and fennented paste does not appear to rank high as a food staple in this zone. With respect to the location of the feeder markets, a.ll th.e feeder markets for Jos and three of the feeder markets for Kaduna urban markets are located in Benue state; the remaining fi ve feeder markets for Kaduna urban market are located in Edo State (Figures 8.8(b) and 8. I 5(b) . Both Kano and Maiduguri in the upper north region fall in the grain crop zone. The Maiduguri urban market has only three feeder markets, one in Edo State and two in Benue State, each supplying between 5% and 30% of its fermented paste (Figures 8.16 (a) and (b». On the other hand, Kano urban market, also in the grain crop zone, has as many as 23 feeder markets supplying it with fermented paste. It is also noteworthy that supplies

194


The c:Jssa....a food commodify market a nd trade network in Nigeria

from individual feeder markets are in the range of 30% to 50%, for about 70% of the feeder markets, and 10-20% for the remaining 30% of the markets (Figure 8. 12(aÂť). A possible explanation for the unexpected high demand and supply of fermented paste to Kano urban market is that Kano metropolis bas a large concentration of citizens from southern Nigeria, for whom fermented paste is a major staple. Close to 75% of the feeder markets is located in Edo State, while the remaining 25% of them is located in Benue State (Figure 8. 12(b Âť).

Bulk building and distribution network for fermented paste About seven assembly markets for fermented paste were identified during the field investigation. Four of the assembly markets are in Benue State alone, two of them in Cross River State, and one in Edo State. These assembly markets serve as the assembling centers for fermented paste from the surrounding villages as well as the distributing centers to bigger assembly markets and! or urban markets . The four markets in Benue State (central region), namely, Gboko (Figure 8.3 (a), Achoho (Figure 8.18(a)), Zaki Biam (Figure 8.17(aÂť), and Adikpo (Figure 8.19(a)), supply fermented paste in varying proportions of between 5% and 50% to markets in three main axes: i) Central region markets including Abuja , Gboko, l os, and Makurdi. ii) Southeast urban markets-Aba, Enugu, Awka, Onitsha, Port Harcourt, Nsukka, Abakaliki and Obollo-Afor. (iii) Urban markets in the upper north region , notably Kano and Maiduguri. The two assembly markets in Cross River State (Southeast zone), namely, [kot Nyong (Figure 8.22(a) and Okuku (Figure 8.23(a) supply fermented paste in the range of 1020%, mainly to destination markets in the southeast zone, and to Jalingo, 13kara, and Maiduguri urban markets. Figures 8.22(b) and 8.23{b) show the locations of both the assembl y market and tbeir corresponding destination markets. Afuze (Figure 8.20{a), the only assembly market in Edo State (southwest zone), supplies 20% of its fermented paste each to Onitsha and Aba urban markets (both in southeast zone) and 30% each to Lagos urban market in the southwest zone, and Abuja urban market in central region. The location of Afuze assembly market and the markets supplied witb fermented paste is shown in Figure 8.20(b).

CHAPTER NINE

Cooked paste (fufu) trade network Hard economic times, together with other socioeconomic variables, have continued to make the Nigerian society more and more complex. An increasing proportion of Nigerian housewives are taking up paid employment at the slightest opportunity, and the self-employed housewives are making strenuous efforts to cope with the hard times. The net result of all this is that women no longer have much time to spend in the kitchen, and they therefore go for food products that enter the market in ready-toserve forms or with minimal preparation at meal times. Fermented cassava paste, as has earlier been pointed out, is an intermediate product, which is converted into ready-to-servefojil after cooking. CookedjiifU, which can be stored for days, is a major food staple, especially in the southern region of Nigeria, and it is now commonly traded in the country.

5.1. Cassavafufu producing and consuming areas in Nigeria Figure 9. I(a) shows that the cassava fofo producing and consuming areas are concentrated in the southwest and southeast regions of Nigeria The density of production is highest in Dyo and Delta states and lowest in states such as Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Enugu, and Lagos (Figure 9. I (bÂť . The market for cassavajiifll is located mostly in Dyo and Delta states, and to a less extent in Ogun, Lagos, Osun, Edo, Imo, Rivers, Anarnbra, and Ebonyi states (Figure 9. I (cÂť .

5.2. Trade network for cooked paste (Fufu) This will be di scussed under two sections rural- urban supply network, and bulk building and distribution network for cooked paste (juju) 5.2.1 Rural-urban supply networks About three types of rural- urban supply network for Juju were identified and discussed. a) One rural market supplying cooked paste to one urban market. Figure 9. 13 (c), (e) and (f) respectively, shows that Hori in Ogun State supplies all its cooked paste (fitfu) to Abeokuta, Oyigbo 40% to Enugu, and that Abudu in Edo State also supplies 20% of Juju to Port Harcourt. Also, Taiwo and Bahoko feeder markets in Kwara State supply all their fiift' to lIorin urban market (Figure 9. 13a). The reason for a rural market dealing with only one urban market is not clear; probably it may have to do with proximity, either in absolute terms or in terms of ease of accessibility or with the personal preference of the middlemen. b) Several rural markets supplying cooked paste (juJu) to one one urban market. This type of rural- urban supply nerwork was found to be very cornmon. Figures 9.2 (a) and (b) show the list and locations of rural markets in Delta state, which supply Onitsha with juju. About eleven rural markets "export" Jufi' to Onitsha urban market, the proportion of fi![i, from each market ranging from 40% to 70% for Umunede, Ebelleh Agbor, Onitsha, and Oyoko, and from 10% to 30% for the rest of the rural markets (Figure 9.2(a». Figure 9.4 also shows that in Delta State, 12 rural markets supply Juju to Agbor and that Asaba urban market gets its Juju supplies from 14 feeder markets. About eight of the feeder markets in Figure 9.4 supply fufi' to both Agbor and Asaba destination markets . Except for Isselle-Ukwu, Afor Ozoro, and Onuobo rural markets that supply 100%, 50% and 40%, respective ly, to Agbor, the rest of the individual feeder market supplies range from 10% to 30%. It is also worthy of note that all the feeder villages, except lsse lleUkwu, had other markets tbat they also supply with JuJu . Warri urban market in Delta State is suppli ed Juju by fo ur feeder markets. It gets 60% of the fitfu supplies from Ewato, 50% each from Ozoro and Okpe, and 30% from Onuobo feeder markets (Fi gure 9.5). The locations of the Warri urban market and its fee der markets are shown in Figure 9.5(b). The urban market in Benin City receives its j ujU supplies from nine feeder markets , all of which supply it with all the fiifu from these feeder markets. The only exception is Oka feeder market, which sells 80% ofitsfiifu to Benin City urban market (Figure 9.7(a». It is interesting to note that all these feeder markets are only located in Edo State but that they also clustered around Benin City urban market (Fi gure 9.7(b». In Lagos State, the urban markets are suppliedfuJu by 13 feeder markets, ten of which are located in Ogun State, two in Edo State, and only one in Lagos state (Figure 9.B(b)). Four of the feeder markets-Odogunyan, Ijebu-Igbo, Shagamu Aweol, and Owode-Idiroko "export" all their fiift' to Lagos urban

225

markets, while about seven others each sell from 50% to 80% of its Juju production, and the rest between 20% and 30% each to urban markets in Lagos (Figure 9.8(a» . Ibadan urban markets appear to have the largest concentration of feeder markets supplying tbem with cooked paste (jUJu) . These feeder markets, numbering about 19, are located mainly in Oyo State. The four feeder markets that fall outside Oyo State are distributed three in Osun State and one in Ogun State (Figure 9.IO(b» . Almost 80% of the fe eder markets sell all their supplies of Juju to urban markets in Ibadan. Each of the few remaining feeder markets sells at least 50% of its supplies of Juju to Ibadan urban markets (Figure 9. 1O(b» . Abeokuta urban market has a small concentration of six feeder markets suppling it with cooked paste (juju). All the feeder markets are located in Ogun State and in and around the Abeokuta urban market (Figure 9.1 I (b» . Four of the six feeder markets supply 40% each of their stock of Juju, while !tori and Kesan-Orile feeder markets supply 100"10 and 20% of their Juju, respectively, to the urban market at Abeokuta (Figure 9. I l(a». c) One rural market supplying cooked paste (juju) to several urban markets. It is quite usual for a commodity from one rural market to find its way to more than one destination market, since middlemen can come from several places to buy the commodity, which they may sell in different markets. That is the si tuation in four sample feeder markets, namel y, Abara Obodo and Agbor in Delta State, Abudu in Edo State, and ' 8 Miles' in Cross River State. Abara Obodo supplies 25% of its Juju to each of the follo wing urban/suburban markets- Asaba. Agbor, and Umunede (Figure 9.12(a» , while Agbor (now a feeder market), in tum , sells 40% of its Juju each to Onitsha and Umunede, and 20% to Asaba (Figure 9.12(b» . Abudu feeder market has four urban market outlets in Delta. Lagos and Rivers states for its Juju (Figure 9.12(d» . It di stributes 20% of its fit/u to Agbor, Asaba, and Port Harcourt urban markets, and 30% to Lagos urban market (Figure 9.12(c)). In Cross River State, most of the village markets sampled produce Juju for domestic needs . For instance, almost all Juju produced and sold in rural markets at lwuru, Okurikang, Ugep, Apiapum, Ehom, Ekori, Ediba, Oyiadama, Creek Town, Nko, and Uyanga, is consumed domestically. In "8 Miles" rural market, the picture is different, as only 20% of itsfoJII is used for domestic purposes, and the remaining 80% of the JIIJU is shared equally between Ikaika Qua and Watt destination markets in Cross River State (Figure 9. I 2(e» . 5.2.2 Bulk building and distribution network for Juju Figure 9.3a presents a complex network of bulk building and di stribution involving three assembly markets, their feeder markets and their destination market at Onitsha.

The cassava food commod ity market and trade network in Ni geria

The feeder and the assembly markets are all located in Delta state but the destination market at Onitsha is in neighboring Anambra State (Figure 9.3(bÂť. Agbor gets its supply of fufu from 13 feeder markets in the varying proportion of 20% to 30% each from ten of the villages, and 40 or 50% from two feeder markets . Only one feeder market at Isselle Ukwu sell s all its fufu to Agbor. In its turn, Agbor distributes about 20% of her supplies offufu to Asaba and 40% each to Umunede and Onitsha. With respect to Asaba assembly market, in addition to the 40% of supplies of fufu from Agbor, it receives supplies also from 12 feeder markets in Delta and Edo states (Figure 9.3 (bÂť. The proportions of supplies of fiifu from each of the feeder markets are in the range of 10% to 30%, but it supplies only 10% of its fufu to the Onitsha urban market. On the other hand, Umunede "exports" as much as 70% of its supplies of fufu to the urban market at Onitsha, after receiving fufu supplies from about 13 feeder markets. The Umunede assembly market appears more attractive to most feeder markets than Asaba or Agbor assembly market. The proportion of the stock of figu from the feeder markets that sell Juju to the three assembly markets, is substantially higher for Umunede than for Agbor or Asaba. The proportion of fufu supplies from each of the feeder markets that supply this commodity to Umunede ranges from 40% to 60% for ten of the feeder markets, and from 20% to 30%, for the three remaining feeder markets.

CHAPTER TEN

The wet edible cassava starch trade network Starch production in commercial quantities is highly localized and concentrated in Edo and Delta states where it is one of the main food staples. Outside this area of production, starch is utilized as an industrial raw material . As should be expected the trade network for starch is not as complex and widespread as the trade networks for other cassava products already examined For instance, no movement of starch from the producing states of Edo and Delta to urban markets in the central, northeast, and northwest zones was observed during the field investigation. It is amazing too that starch from the traditional processing areas in the south has not found its way to Kaduna, with several textile establishments. It is likely that the cassava starch from the south does not compete favorably with imported starch.The major rural markets for cassava local starch are located in Delta, Edo and Oyo States. The urban demand markets are also found wi thin these states as well as Anambra, Bayelsa, Osun, Lagos, Kwara, Ondo and Ekiti States (Figures 10. 1a, 10. lb and 10. lc).

The cassava food commodity market and trade network in ;..figena

The trade network for starch, which is li mited to the southern zone, will be examined under the rural- urban distribution network, and bulk bui lding and distribution network. First, we shall start the discuss ion with starch distribution networks in Edo and Delta states. Figure 10.2 shows that about 12 rural markets supply starch to six urban markets in Delta State, and two urban markets outside the state-Onitsha in Anambra State and Yenagoa in Bayelsa State. Figure 10.2 shows the percentage distribution of starch from the source markets to destination markets. Analysis of the pattern of starc h distribution in Figure 10.2 suggests that Asaba and Agbor are the most important urban markets for starch in Delta State, with each of these markets getting a large proportion and supplies of starch from seven out of the twelve source markets. On the other hand, Umunede receives starch from three source markets, and Sapele, from only one market. Not on ly are the source markets few in number but also the proportion of starch supplies is also low-about 10% or 20%. With respect to Edo state, there are cleven source markets supplying starch to five urban markets-Agbor, Asaba, Benin City, Port Harcourt, and Lagos (Figure 10.3). It is clear fTom Figure 10.3 that Benin City is the largest recipient of starch produced in Edo state, getting all the starch supplies from seven out of the cleven source markets, and 30% or 40% from tbese other source markets. Both Agbor and Asaba destination markets get 40% and 60% of starch supplies, respectively, from the Uromi source market. 10.1. Bulk building and starch distribution network Very few assembly markets were observed in the trade network for starch during the period of field investigation. This is probably due to the relative proximity of the source and destination markets. Agbor and Asaba were the only assembly markets identi fied in the starch trade network. Middlemen in both Agbor and Asaba assemble starch from the various source markets and shi ft about 60% of starch from Agbor, and 40% from Asaba to Onitsha (Figure IO.4a) . In addition to these assembly markets, nine otber feed er markets in Delta State supply about 30% to 50% of their starch directly to Onitsha (Figure 10.4 (b)). In Onitsha, starch is required principally for industrial purposes. 10.2 Rural-urban starch distribution network About seven other urban markets get starch supplies directly and mainly from adjoining feeder markets. Lagos urban markets consume 90% to 100% of starch from Lafenwa and Ifo supply markets in Ogun State, and 40% to 50% of starch supplies from Ugbogiobo, Ekiadolor, and Ugbogui feeder markets in Edo State, and Odogunyan in Lagos State (Figure 10.5). Port Harcourt is supplied starch directly by fi ve feeder markets, with three of them in Edo State supplying 20% a piece, and two others in Delta State eac h supplying about 40% (I 0.6(a) and (bÂť . [badan urban market absorbs all the starch supplies from the three surrounding feeder markets in Moniya, [ware, and Odogbo (FigurcI0.7). Yenagoa urban market gets betwecn 10% and 40% starch supplies from each of the six feeder markets in Delta

state (Figurel0.8 (aÂť. The location of the feeder markets and the Yenagoa urban market is shown in FigurelO.8 (b). A complex neTWork of feeder markets that are located in Delta and/or Edo Staters) services the urban markets at Asaba, Benin City and Warri . The number of the feeder markets is about 22 for Asaba, 15 for Beoin City and 10 for Wani urban markets, and each of the feeder markets supplies between 20"10 and 10% of its starch stock to its client urban market(s) (Figures 10.9 (a) and 10.12 (aÂť. The location of the variolls markets is shown in Figures 10.9 (b), 10.11 (b), and 10.12 (b).

CHAPTER ELEVEN

Cross border trade in cassava-based products 11.1 Cassava export trade in Kano State The cassava export trade in Dawanau market in Dawakin Tofa Local Government area of Kano State started as a response to satisry the need for food during the deficit seasons in the Sahelian countries and not necessarily as an ethnic (niche) market as some have speculated. The trade is therefore driven by the need to sustain the food security needs of such countries like Niger, Chad, Bukina Faso, and some parts of northern Cameroon. Trade in cassava products has been increasing over the last 20 years due to increase in the population of the destination countries such as Niger, Chad, and Burkina Faso. Two major cassava products, gari and cassava chips milled from cassava chunks, are exported from Nigeria to these Sahelian regions. In Danwanau market, value is added to chunks (see Figure 2.6a) by breaking it down to chips. It is further milled to flour at point of destination. Cassava chipS/chips from the source markets to Dawanau market are transported by road from Doma, and Adogi in Nasarawa State, Tala and Mutum Biyu in Taraba State, and Zaki-Biam area in Benue State. The minor supply zones are Talata Mafara in Zamfara State, Ringim in Jigawa State, Danbatta in Kano State, and from Dorin area in Kwara State. These latter areas are sources of supply during times of scarcity. The supply markets for gar; to Dawanau market are located in Delta, Edo, and Benue states. Other minor supply zones for gari are in Kogi , Nasarawa, and Taraba states. For both products, the relative volume of trade across the border is in the ratio of 60% for gari and 40% for chips.

11.2 Destination markets (or exported cassava products Nearly 50% of gari is sold to Nigeri ene traders who come to Dawanau market to buy. The balance is sold to Mali , Chad, and northern Cameroon (Figure 11 .1). Areas in Northern Cameroon (Garoua, Kaele, Marona, Mokolo, and Kousseri) prefer high quality gari. [n general cassava chips are exported through the infonnal trade to Maradi , Zinder, Matameya, Dan Magaria, Dousou, Tawa (in Niger), Bamako (in Mal i), and Ougadougou (in Burkina Faso). There are two cross border trade routes for cassava products to Niger. The first route is a direct route from Kana through Danbatta, Kazaure (all in Kano State), to Sandaru (in Katsina State), Daura (Katsina State) to Tessau (Niger). The second is from Kano, through Katsina to Maradi. This route also s upplies all the other border towns in Katsina State such as Jibiya. There are also two northeast routes from Kana, Maiduguri to Kousseri (in Cameroon) to Ndjamena (in Chad) or Maiduguri through Maroua to Garoua (in northern Cameroon). Traders from Dan Magaria (in Niger) come to buy cassava products on Fridays and those from Maradi (also in Niger) buy on Tuesdays. These days are dictated by the market days in these destination towns. Traders from Jibiya (a border town in Katsina State) buy cassava products from Dawanau market on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. They do not buy on Wednesdays. These groups of traders also sell to Nigerienes at Jibiya.

What drives this cross border trade is the desire to meet food demand in the destination coWltries especially during the dry hot and hWlgIy season months. The dry/hWlgry period ranges from February through March to April every year. Because of the capability to store in warehouses, Dawanau traders have been able to even out (stabilize) supplies such that there is little seasonal trend in the market during the year. However. the month of August is critical as gar; trade is at its lowest.

Gar; in iger is taken wi th cold water and sugar. Eati ng gar; in the form of eba is not common in the Sallelian region. 11.3 Volume and value of trade Cassava product prices are seasonal. The highest price is attained in the months of February, March, and April. This season is considered the peak season in Dawanau market. The months of lowest prices are October, November, and December. This period falls within the harvest time for especially the grain crops. Depending on the source market, traders buy cassava chips at between ~ 1500 and ~20oo and sell at between ~3000 and ~3600 naira per 50 kg bag. Gar; is also purchased at ~15oo to

jooj25oo from the source markets and is sold at jooj2000 for a 35 kg bag and jooj3900 per 50 kg bag. However we observed that traders make money through speculation by buying when prices are cheap, and selling when prices are high. This explains the reason for the numerous warehouses in Dawanau market. The Gar; Dealers Association just started keeping records consistently on the number of lorries that offload at the market from the 7 March 2005. The volume and value of trade for week 9 (7- 13 March) of 2005 is presented in Table I 1.1 below for gari and cassava chips. This gives an indication of the value and volume of cross border trade in cassava export across the border in northern Nigeria. The volume of trade路 within the period alone is about 1455 tonnes of gar; and 1734 tonnes of chips. This gave an estimated value (gross) of jooj72,750,000 (or $546,992.48) for gari and N52,941,000 (or $398,052.63) for chips. Even though the volume of gar; sold in week 9 in the market is less than the volume of chips, the value of gross income from gari is 1.37 times higher than the value from cassava chips.

If we assume that the volume of trade is the same for 50 weeks in a year the annual estimated volume of fresh roots dedicated to cross border trader through the Dawanau market will amount to 551, I 00 tonnes of fresh root per annum. This amounts to about 1.5% of Nigeria's total cassava production in one year valued at nearly jooj6.67h (or $50.lm). A market that absorbs about 1.5% of Nigeria's output is a significant market. The volume of cassava that leaves Nigeria's northern borders through Dawanau market is large. One fact comes out very clearly from this observation. Nigeria has an export (cross border) trade for cassava, which relies heavily on the hands of small- and micro路scale farmers and processors in the rura l hinterlands. What the country needs is to diversify its export options by supporting its agribusiness sector following the lessons learned from the gari and chips trade. And that lesson is that small is beautiful.

Mali . and Bukilla Faso in the Sudano Sahelian belt of West Afri ca. T he Danwanau marke t was a wholl y private sector initiative. In the early 1980's, the local government council allocated land to interested traders at Jl.I.50.00!plot. Each individual bui lt hi s/her own shop . Warehouses were also built on individual effort. Presently an apex body, Danwanau Market Development Association, governs the market. The Secretary o f the assoc iation, Alhaj i Ahmed Imam was interviewed . Dmv3nau market is divided inm fi ve secti on s. Zone B or Yan Gari is the Cassava section. This sect ion also has its functionaries. T hc Chaitman Gar; Dealcrs Association is Alhaji Abu Mohmnmed; the Vice Chairman is Alhaji Mohammed Danj uma , while thc secretaty is Mall am Vall Tumf.,fi . The association is open to all ethn ic groups and in facr its comm odity chain acti vities covers all ethnic groups in N igeria. There are 2048 stores in the cassava section in Dawanau market dealing with cassava product s alone. There are al so other gar; and cassava stores and dealers in Kano city. Stores can be rented dependi ng on the size and location. Some stores are rented for ,,*30,OOO/annum , some othe rs for ""1 5,OOO/annum. To join the trade you llave to register with the Gar; Dealers Associati on, after which you at'e attached to u dealerltrader as an apprent ice for over a period of at least Olle year. After one year your master will guarantee thM you can be a trader and arc of good behaviour. You will be required to pay assoc iation dues of ,,"5000. You will also be required to pay welfarc dues ofJl.l.lOO/month, and a monthl y toll to LGA o f !>.i50. The welfare association presently gives a sum oi'!>.iI O.OOO o n the death of a mcmber. Taxes and tax clcarance arc done with the State Mini stry of Commerce. Even though traders in the market do pay tax , there is very little government support to the markct. Traders maintain that they will be willing to pay more tax if the government call fence the market to ensure security, provide electricity and warer. and tar the road s in side the market to help reduce losses o[products especially during wet the season when roads in th e market are terribly bad and impassable. The truders association does not have the poli tical clo ut to in fluence decisions in government to assi st them. Key actors in the cassava trade are itinerant wholesale traders or dealers (dclaJi), transporters, porters, millers, and dall komisioll. The latter are agents who identify and arrange transportation for traders. They usually liase with truck drivers on behalf of traders and are paid a commission of about 10% for this function . Transporters currently charge about ,,*SOOlbag for a IS t lorry and "*400/ bag for a 30 t capacity (trailer load). The rate may reduce to "*350 if the trader personally arranged his own transport. Transporters prefer to travel overnight from the supply markets in Nigeria because of less police and road safety disturbances/checks . Railway transport is not used even though it would have been cheapest to do so. However, railway lines do not run across many of the supply markets in the south. Cross border traders however prefer to buy in chip form . The millers located in the market provide the service of breaking down from chunks to chips . There are over 100 mills providing this service in Dawanau market. Millers charge a fee of "*40 per 100 kg bag to break the chips to chips, and Jl.I.2S0 per 100 kg bag of cassava flour . The mills are powered by diesel and/or petrol engines. Fo r loading and offloading porters charge a fee of Jl.I.20, respectively . Itinerant traders may travel to the source markets to buy cassava with or without their money. Dealers take the goods from the larmer or trader and sell on thcir

The language of trade is mostly Hausa. The currency of trade is the Na ira. Traders from other countries are made to exchange their money at the Bureau the Change at Wapa in Kano . There are also traders in cowpea, which is imported from Niger, who also assist with the exchange. Traders in Dawanau market obtain mal路ket infonnation from the destination market:; in the south through the use of the mobi le phones. Infonnation is a lso obtained from dl; vcrs. other tmders who have recen tly alTived 路Irom the sou thern markets, and fro m fonner or serving apprentices pu rposely located in these markets . Cassava is not the on ly commod ity exported from N igeria across the border Irom Dawanau market. O ther products exp()lt ed incl ude yam, sorghum. maize, sweet potato, Irish PO!.llto and wheat. Commoditi es imported a cross the border into Nigeria include cowpea. millet, ani ma ls. hides and ski n. fresh mi lle and date palm.

11.5 Trade barriers Traders from Niger Republ ic. who wcre interviewed, comp lained tha t rherc arc several (fOlU路 to six) checkpoints on the ir way to Niger. Except fo r one poi nt in the Niger border. all check po inL~ are located in Nige ria. Drivers pay a slim of~2000 per (10 wheel) lorry load to cu stoms and other officials at each checkpoint. At the checkpoint in Niger. drivers pay N500 to offic ials. The traders who hired the vehicle pay thi s sum collecrively to the driver who pays at Ihe checkpoi nts. Cross border trade is not considered a smuggling activity by the actors but these " predatot)," techn iques illegally employed by gove rnment officials are seen as barriers by cross border traders. Very little paper work or records art! kept at the borders to determine the volume of trade. Further detailed and more quantitative economic surveys on the value and volume of import and export trade in staples in Dawanau market and other cross border markets between Nigeria and its neighbors will be required to ascertain whether the country has a net trade ba lance in its cross border trade especially for cassava.

CHAPTER TWELVE Conclusion

Potential investors in the cassava industry in Nigeria and in the diaspora often assume that since Nigeria is the largest cassava producing country in the world, it has surplus raw material for industrial usc. However, as Nigeria advances cassava as a primary raw material for agro industrial development, we need to understand that 90% of the cassava output in Nigeria is consumed as food in various traditional forms. Several rural markets have grown to meet the challenge of supplying cassava and its products to urban markets in Nigeria. These various local markets and trade networks for the principal cassava products have been identified in this document. The gari market is the largest singular cassava based product especially because of its characteristics as a convenience food in Nigeria. Gari is moved from the south and central States of Nigeria to all major cities in Nigeria and beyond the borders of the country especially through the Kano, Katsina, and Maradi axis in northern Nigeria . Gari is supplied to Lagos from two distinct axes, namely, from the west and the east of Nigeria. The rural supply markets in the western axis are found in Ogun, Oyo, Osun, and Ondo states. The rural supply markets in the eastern axis comprise Delta, Edo, and Kogi states. States like Akwa Ibom, Anambra, and Bayelsa were observed to be net importers of cassava products especially gari from other major supply states. Fermented cassava flour and chips are concentrated in the central and western regions of Nigeria. Trade flows in the two commodities from central Nigeria are in two directions; that is, to cities in the northern and southern parts of Nigeria. Trade flows from supply to demand markets fo r fermented cassava flour in western Nigeria in the north-south direction from Oyo, Ogun, Osun, and Ekiti states to Lago s. The major supply markets for abaclza are principally in Enugu and other southeast States. The commodity also travels as far as Maiduguri in Northeast Nigeria. Trade in fresh roots is localized within the rural markets and, in urban cities where they are found , they are produced within the peri urban area of these cities. The localized nature of trade in fresh roots is as a result of its perishability plus the fact that the bulk of what is transported is water. The traditional wet starch supply market is concentrated in Delta and Edo states. The principal destination market is Onitsha where it also has industrial applications even though it is produced for human consumption in the rural ma rkets. Wet edible cassava starch is also moved from these states to industrial markets in Lagos vi a drying plants located within the Lagos area. The increase in Nigeria's population and existence of such markets all over the country implies that smallholder farmers and processors have been able to respond to the demand for cassava as food in Nigeria. This suggests that the setting up of agroindustries that will use cassava as raw material for starch, ethanol, and livestock feed must take cognisance of this traditional food market, which is unlikely to change. Recent World Bank (2006) estimates suggest that about 47% of Nigerians live in

265


The cassa".a food commodity market and trnde network ill Nigeria

urban areas. The urban food market for cassava products will continue to grow as human population increases due to rural- urban migration and urban birth rates. The existence of a dynamic traditional cassava food market has implications for the development of the cassava industry in N igeria. The volume of raw material required to satisfy the potential industrial demand for industrial cassava is about 8.8 mi llion t of fresh cassava roots annually. This untapped domestic demand implies that an additional acreage of over 440,000 ha need to be put under production. In view of the vibrant domestic market that is very responsive to trade in traditional cassava food products in Nigeria, it is imperative that developing an agro industrial base will require further expansion in cassava cultivation to meet the demands of the industrial market. Historical evidence (Phillips et al. 2006) informs that many agroindustry investors in Nigeri a were agrophobic as they had hitherto set up large factories without nucleus farms to support their factories. The assumption had been that since Nigeria is a large cassava producing country there would be enough cassava to support the industry. But as it stands today there are very few large-scale cassava farms that can support the emerging agroindustries in terms of volume, consistent supply, and quality . Most cassava farmers are small scale averaging about 0.5 ha per farmer (Ezedinma et al. 2006). The logistics of clustering such fanners may be expensive (Ugwu and Okereke 1985). At current (2005) prices, raw material (cassava roots) costs account on the average for 52% of the cost of production in cassava-based industries. Therefore initial investments in cassava-based industries must include a nucleus farm to ensure raw material supply . The farm must be ab le to supply at least 75% of the agroindustrial needs (at least in the short run). The industry can purchase cassava raw material from the local markets when prices are low (June to October). This will help to stabilize prices in local markets during this period. Without such a farm the raw material demand by the factory will distort the local cassava economy and the industry will run into raw material supply problems. At present the volume of cross border trade on cassava products is substantial and may be much higher during years of drought in response to the problem of famine in the Sabel ian countries of West Africa. Yet recorded trade statistics about these cross border transactions does not exist. The Federal Government is losing substantially to its unscrupulou s officials. This creates an urgent and compelling need to develop this sector of the nat ion's economy. Finally, this study provides a basi s for further economic/market studies on the traditional cassava food market and emerging cassava industri al market in Nigeria. The first key research issue is related to the question of implementing a new and efficient cassava (industry) market (from raw material to processing and marketing of final products) so tbat social welfare can be maximized. This issue brings into focus two types of investigations, namely, an analysis of interregional trade in order to predict the flows of cassava commodities, the actual quantities demanded in urban centers and the resulting price level and secondly, a detennination of optimal locations of individual rural supply markets to urban demand markets. Therefore we believe that an approach integrating the theory of location and interregional trade analysis are key issues for further research.

266


The C8.5sa\'a food commodity market and trade network in Nigeria

A second research issue of interest is related to answering the question of whether there is 3 positive relationship or price transmission between the prices of cassava products at different stages of deve lopment in the cassava market. This will require co integration studies whose obj ective is to look at linear combinations of product prices in a stationary time series analysis. Finally studies are needed on regional trade for cassava-based products in West and Central Africa. Thi s may help to facilitate trade synergies and inform policy dialog towards a win-win situation across countries for the commodity in the subregion.
