Herdsmen attacks responsible for high cost of garri- Farmers say

The Nigeria Cassava Growers Association says
the unending attacks by herdsmen on farmers and t heir products nationwide, is largely responsible for the scarcity in cassava products such as Garri and Fufu and the increase in prices of these food items. In the last two months, there have been over 100% increase in the prices of staple foods such as Garri, Fufu and others.
A paint bucket of Garri which used to go for N400, now goes for N1000 or more, depending on the location.
