Maize is one of the world’s most widely grown cereal crops, particularly in developing countries. It is a staple food for millions of people and is also used in the manufacturing of a variety of industrial products. Due to population growth and increased urbanisation, demand for maize products has increased rapidly in recent years. Maize processing is an important component of the maize value chain, and it plays an important role in increasing maize value and creating job opportunities.
We will conduct a feasibility and techno-economic viability study on maize processing in this report. We will look at various aspects of maize processing, such as production, processing, marketing, and finance. We will also examine market demand for maize products, required production capacity, capital investment, and expected returns on investment.

Market Research
Maize product demand has increased rapidly in recent years, owing primarily to population growth, urbanization, and changing dietary patterns. Maize products are used as human and animal feed, as well as raw materials for a variety of industrial products. Maize is a staple food for more than 80% of the population in Nigeria, and it is also used as a raw material in the production of many industrial products, such as ethanol, starch, and animal feed.

Maize is grown by small-scale farmers in most African countries, and the maize value chain is fragmented. This fragmentation causes inefficiencies in the production, processing, and marketing of maize products. As a result, there is a need to integrate the maize value chain in order to improve the efficiency of maize processing and increase the value of maize.
Production Capacity
The production capacity required for a maize processing plant is determined by the plant’s size, the type of maize products to be produced, and market demand. In this study, we will look at a medium-sized maize processing plant that can produce 10,000 tonnes of maize products per year.
Processing Technology
The maize processing technology used in the plant will be determined by the type of maize products to be produced. Maize flour, grits, and bran are the most common maize products. Maize flour is a staple food for humans, whereas maize grits are used as raw materials in the production of snack foods, breakfast cereals, and beer. Maize bran is used as animal feed.

The maize processing plant will use a combination of traditional and modern processing technologies to produce high-quality maize products. Traditional processing technologies include soaking, dehulling, and milling, while modern technologies include drying, grading, and packaging.
Capital Investing
The capital investment required for a maize processing plant is determined by the production capacity, the type of maize products to be produced, and the technology used. In this study, we will assume a medium-scale maize processing plant capable of producing 10,000 tonnes of maize products per year.
The capital investment required for the plant will include the cost of land, building, machinery, equipment, and working capital. The plant’s estimated capital investment is $2.5 million.
Operating expenses
The operating costs of a maize processing plant include the costs of raw materials, labour, energy, maintenance, and overheads. The cost of raw materials is determined by the market price of maize, which can be volatile. The labour cost will be determined by the number of employees and their wages. The cost of energy will vary depending on the type of energy used, such as electricity, diesel, or biomass. The cost of maintenance is determined by the age and condition of the machinery and equipment. Overheads will include the cost of administrative expenses such as salaries, rent, and insurance. The annual operating costs of the maize processing plant are estimated to be $1.2 million.
