Ebedebiri Starch
Designed for food and industrial applications
Our native cassava starch gives manufacturers a reliable, locally produced ingredient they can count on.
With consistent quality and industrial-scale production, we help businesses access high-quality starch while supporting locally sourced Nigerian cassava.
Building an inclusive, resilient cassava supply chain
Ebedebiri Starch has built a growing backward-integration network to strengthen the reliability, quality and traceability of our cassava supply.
Working with development and institutional partners, we support cassava farmers with access to improved planting materials, training, mechanisation and structured market opportunities, while building a more resilient supply chain for our processing operations.
Our programmes currently engage thousands of smallholder farmers across the Niger Delta, including 7,000 women farmers, with deliberate inclusion of persons with disabilities.
Through partnerships and programmes supported by organisations including the Mastercard Foundation, IDH, PIND and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), we continue to expand cassava production, strengthen farmer productivity and deepen the connection between smallholder agriculture and industrial processing.
This integrated approach provides Ebedebiri Starch with a scalable raw-material base to support increased factory utilisation and future growth.
Empowering Women Through Agriculture
Women play a vital role in Nigeria’s agricultural communities, particularly in the cultivation, processing, and distribution of cassava. At Ebedebiri Starch Company, we are committed to creating opportunities that enable more women to participate meaningfully in the cassava value chain.

Connecting agriculture to industrial demand
Farmers, workers, group leaders — not just beneficiaries.
Lead farmers are developed through a training-of-trainers approach, so knowledge cascades through every group. Training covers Good Agricultural Practices, climate-smart and regenerative agriculture, business and entrepreneurship, and leadership and group dynamics.

Farmers receive
Land access, planting materials and inputs, technical training, lead-farmer and extension support, and a guaranteed off-take route to market.
Ebedebiri receives
A structured, traceable, organised cassava supply — off-taken at prevailing market prices — to lift factory utilisation toward its 240-tonne capacity.
Made in Nigeria
Creating more value locally.
Nigeria has the agricultural resources to supply substantially more of the ingredients used by its own industries. We believe those resources should increasingly be processed into higher-value products within Nigeria. Ebedebiri’s ambition is to contribute to that transition.

Ebedebiri’s roots are local, but our ambition is much larger. We are building an industrial platform capable of connecting cassava grown in Nigerian communities with manufacturers in Nigeria and, increasingly, across the region.
