OUR STRATEGY
Our Cassava Supply Chain
Samstar Farms
After initially acquiring large acreage of farmland in Ogun State, Samstar have built up an expert agronomy team consisting of both expatriates and local talent to ensure high yields of cassava tubers are harvested daily.
Outgrowers & Ingrowers Scheme
Samstar’s outgrower and ingrower models provide exceptional support to farmers across Ogun State and beyond to ensure consistent supplies of raw materials all year.
Open Market Purchase
This allows us to support local farmers, even if they are not associated with our outgrowers or ingrowers schemes, by offering them fair market prices for their harvest.
