Transforming Nigeria's Agro-Industrial Sector
The Sequoia Cassava Industrial City (SCIC) is a flagship 10,000-hectare agro-industrial development located in Kokona, Nasarawa State. Designed to solve structural inefficiencies in West Africa's cassava supply chain, SCIC pairs large-scale mechanized farming directly with high-capacity on-site processing facilities.
Traditional cassava production suffers up to 40% post-harvest losses due to rapid tuber deterioration after harvesting. By situating commercial processing plants directly within the 10,000-hectare agricultural zone, SCIC guarantees immediate processing into high-value industrial outputs:
- Industrial StarchSupplying pharmaceutical, paper, textile, and food manufacturing industries across Nigeria and export markets.
- High-Quality Cassava Flour (HQCF)Replacing imported wheat flour in commercial baking and industrial confectionary production.
- Bio-Ethanol & Circular ByproductsConverting cassava peel and processing waste into animal feed and biofuel, creating a zero-waste platform.
Operational Location
Strategically situated in Kokona LGA, Nasarawa State — providing direct transport links to Abuja, Lafia, and major industrial consumption corridors in Central and Northern Nigeria.
