How to make fufu in Nigeria?

FUFU is a staple food in many countries(including Nigeria)and there is a large market to be developed. But there is a difference between the processing of fufu in small scale and large-scale industrial production.

If you want to make fufu by hand, you just need to wash, peel, cut, ferment, dehydrate, and then dry the cassava in the sun. It is suitable for homemade and mini fufu factories.

If you want to make fufu for sale, maybe you need to invest in industrial fufu production. There are three main sections: the cleaning section, the processing section, and the drying section.

Fufu washing machines

Fufu Washing section

Fresh cassava is fed through a dry sieve to remove weeds and other foreign matter. Then sent to a paddle washer to wash off the sediment and stones. After that, the clean cassava is sent to the peeling machine to remove the inner and outer skins. This is the end of the cleaning section.

Fufu processing machines

Fufu Processing section

After peeling, the cassava is cut into small pieces by the cutting machine and then sent into the frustration mill to be beaten into fine cassava pulp. Next, it into the fermentation tank or ground pool for fermentation for about two days. This is the biggest difference from the traditional processing. Compared with fermentation after cutting, crushing into pulp and then fermentation can reduce the storage space and the difficulty of transporting to the next processing facility after fermentation. After fermentation, the cassava pulp is pumped into the plate frame for dewatering by a screw pump to complete the entire processing section.

Fufu drying machines

After dewatering, the FUFU is crushed into powder by the crusher and then sent into the two-stage airflow dryer by the hoist for drying, the humidity is reduced to below 14%, and the finished product is crushed twice by the fine crusher to ensure the quality of the finished product. The whole process of FUFU is completed.
