Contents:

This report is one of a series of economic studies designed to facilitate investment decisions within developing countries. The basis of the report is a set of financial and physical cost models in which processing methods and modes of operation are compared. Although the financial analysis is based on factor costs in a South East Asian country, the physical requirements are so presented that by appropriate adjustments for local yields and other factors, the factor costs can be readily applied to other areas. A description of the manufacturing processes is given. As well as details of manufacturing requirements, the supply of cassava tubers is considered. The interaction of supply to an industrial enterprise with subsistence farming and other food uses necessitates careful planning of supplies if the enter- prise is to operate successfully. Accordingly a simple costing of a plantation has been developed from which part of a factory's supply of cassava tubers can be drawn. This has been used as the basis of supply for one of the cost models.
