What to factor in before you set your price
Your price must reflect cassava or bulk garri, processing or sourcing, sieving, moisture control, food-grade bags, accurate weighing, sealing, transport and spoilage. Compare demand for white, yellow and different grain sizes among nearby households and retailers, and secure dependable supply before promising regular volumes. Where garri is unfamiliar or imported, first verify demand, food-import or processing rules, recognised product descriptions, local measurement units and the distribution channels serving African or speciality-food customers.
