Cassava Farming
At Delta Processing and Packaging Company Ltd, we believe in empowering local farmers and ensuring a sustainable and reliable source of high-quality cassava for our ethanol production
When it comes to cassava farming, we leave no stone unturned. We carefully select and allocate land for cultivation, ensuring that it meets the requirements for optimal cassava growth. Our farms are of significant size, allowing us to produce cassava on a large scale to meet the demands of our ethanol production.
To ensure the highest quality yield, we employ modern cultivation techniques. Our farmers are trained in best practices, including soil preparation, planting, and irrigation methods. We prioritize the use of high-breed cassava varieties that have been specifically developed for their superior characteristics. These varieties have a shorter four-month harvest period, allowing for quicker turnover and increased productivity. Additionally, they have a remarkable 90% starch content, ensuring that our ethanol production is of the highest quality.
As part of our commitment to supporting farmers, we provide them with the necessary resources and support. This includes providing farming equipment such as plows, tractors, and harvesters, enabling them to efficiently carry out their tasks. We also supply fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides to ensure the health and growth of the cassava plants while minimizing the impact of pests and diseases. By offering these resources, we empower farmers to achieve higher yields and improve their livelihoods.
One crucial aspect of our cassava farming is the provision of improved cassava stems. We understand the importance of using high-quality planting material to ensure successful cultivation. By providing farmers with improved cassava stems, we guarantee that the raw material for our ethanol production is of the highest standard. These stems have been carefully selected and developed to have superior traits, resulting in increased yields and overall productivity.
At Delta Processing and Packaging Company Ltd, we believe that a strong foundation of cassava farming is essential for the success of our ethanol production. By investing in the growth and cultivation of high-quality cassava, we are able to provide a reliable and sustainable source of raw material, benefiting both our company and the local farming community.
