Ghana Cassava Processing Market Trends:

Nutrient-Rich Varieties Driving Processing Potential

The Ghana cassava processing market growth is gaining momentum as agricultural innovation delivers new, high-value raw materials for processing industries. Stakeholders are focusing on cassava varieties that meet both consumer preferences and industrial processing needs, aiming to improve efficiency, product quality, and profitability. This approach aligns with national priorities to enhance food security, diversify product offerings, and support local agribusiness. In January 2025, the University of Cape Coast released four yellow-fleshed cassava varieties, rich in beta-carotene, high in dry matter content, and resistant to cassava mosaic disease (CMD). These traits increase suitability for flour, gari, and confectionery processing while offering nutritional benefits that address public health concerns. The varieties’ farmer-preferred qualities, such as mealiness, also encourage rapid adoption, securing a steady supply for processors. As processors gain access to consistent, high-quality cassava inputs, opportunities expand for value addition and export-oriented products. This development is expected to draw further investment into mechanized processing facilities, strengthen supply chain integration, and increase the competitiveness of Ghana’s cassava-based products in both domestic and global markets. With industry and research institutions collaborating closely, the sector is positioned for steady advancement supported by improved yields and better raw material quality.

Infrastructure Expansion Supporting Rural Processing Capacity

Infrastructure investments remain a major driver of capacity expansion and improved operational efficiency in Ghana’s cassava sector. Modern processing facilities are enabling smallholder farmers to link with structured markets, reduce post-harvest losses, and participate in higher-value supply chains. These facilities also serve as catalysts for local employment and skills development, supporting rural economic growth. In November 2024, YARP Foods inaugurated a cassava flour production facility in Akumsa Dumase, Bono East Region, with a one-ton-per-day capacity. By sourcing raw cassava directly from local farmers, the company created an assured market, improved farmer incomes, and strengthened the cassava value chain. The facility’s focus on gluten-free cassava flour also opens niche export opportunities and meets the rising domestic demand for alternative flours in baking and confectionery. Beyond processing, YARP Foods has invested in out-grower schemes and training programmes, fostering sustainable farming practices and building farmer capacity. This combination of modern infrastructure and farmer empowerment ensures a reliable supply of raw materials while enhancing product competitiveness. As more companies adopt similar models, Ghana’s cassava processing capacity is expected to grow, positioning the sector to meet both domestic consumption needs and international market demands more effectively.
