Africa is an important global producer of bananas and plantains. Nigeria is the second-largest producer of plantains in western Africa. In recent years, Nigeria has deep-processed rich banana resources through deep-fried banana chip processing lines used by importers, which has increased added value and created considerable economic income.
Hali ya sasa ya uzalishaji wa ndizi Nigeria
Jumla ya uzalishaji wa ndizi za Afrika mwaka 2019 ni takriban 12.6% ya uzalishaji wa dunia wa ndizi za mbegu ni takriban 81% wa dunia. Jumuiya ya uzalishaji wa ndizi za Afrika na ndizi za mbegu ni takriban 28% ya dunia. Hasa kwenye ukingo wa Sahara Afrika, ndizi za mbegu zinachukua robo ya chakula cha msingi cha watu milioni 100 wa eneo hilo.
Uzalishaji wa ndizi za mbegu za Nigeria ni miongoni mwa nne bora kwa jumla katika Afrika Magharibi. Mwaka jana, uzalishaji wa ndizi za mbegu za Nigeria ulikuwa takriban tani 315,000, ukichangia 4.62% ya uzalishaji wa ndizi za kila mwaka barani Afrika.
Kwa nini Nigeria inahitaji kuagiza mistari ya uzalishaji wa chips za ndizi zilizokaangwa kwa semi-automated?
1. Nigeria ina rasilimali tajiri za ndizi za mbegu na uzalishaji mkubwa. Ndizi za mbegu zinaweza kutumika si tu kama chakula cha msingi kwa wakaazi wa eneo hilo bali pia kama chanzo cha utajiri kwao. Kutumia mashine za usindikaji wa chips za ndizi kuzalisha na kuuza nje chips za ndizi kunaweza kuleta kipato.
2. Compared with the fully automated banana chip production line, the semi-automatic fried banana chip processing line has a better investment advantage in Nigeria. The whole set of equipment has the characteristics of compact structure, high production efficiency, simple operation, and low investment cost. In addition, the semi-automatic banana chip processing line can make full use of local cheap labor, and the processing cost is not high.
3. Mahitaji ya soko kwa chips za ndizi zilizokaangwa ni makubwa. Sio tu Nigeria bali pia katika soko la kimataifa, chips za ndizi zenye lishe ni maarufu sana. Chips za ndizi ni tajiri kwa protini na vitamini na zina ladha ya kupendeza. Aina hii mpya ya bidhaa ya ndizi iliyochakatwa kwa kina inaweza kuuzwa kama kitafunwa chenye afya, kwa hivyo watu wa rika zote wanapenda kukila.
