Industrial-Quality Cassava
Starch. Every Batch.
Our plant produces to specification — consistent whiteness, fineness, and moisture levels that meet or exceed the Nigerian Industrial Standard and international food-grade benchmarks.
Food, pharma & industrial spec
Through sieve — pharma eligible
Stable, consistent shelf life
High purity — >99.7% starch
Food-Grade
Cassava Starch
● Live
Our primary output. Produced continuously from Day 1, this starch meets the Nigerian Industrial Standard and complies with Codex Alimentarius STAN 212-1999 — the international benchmark for food-grade starch.
Food-grade cassava starch is the workhorse of Nigeria's processed food industry. From noodle manufacturers to custard producers, pharmaceutical excipient suppliers to paper mills — the same consistent Nexium output serves all of them.

Certification Timeline
Equipment output already meets the whiteness, fineness, and moisture specifications for pharma excipient classification. NAFDAC registration process underway — target: Year 2 of operations.
Pharmaceutical-Grade
Cassava Starch
◐ NAFDAC Registration in Progress
Same base product as our food-grade output, with an additional quality testing and regulatory certification layer. The machine produces to pharma spec from Day 1 — the pathway to pharmaceutical-grade is certification, not reformulation.
Nigeria's domestic pharmaceutical sector spends significantly on imported starch excipient. Nexium's NAFDAC-registered product will offer a certified, local alternative with shorter lead times and no foreign exchange exposure.
Applications
We Don't Claim Consistency. We Engineer It.
Our processing line is specified precisely to deliver consistent output across every production run — not average compliance, but batch-level reproducibility.
Our quality framework includes incoming cassava testing, in-process monitoring, and outgoing batch certification. Every shipment leaves with documented quality data.
Specialist cassava starch processing line — specification-guaranteed output confirmed through factory test data and technical quotation
Our output meets and exceeds NIS requirements for cassava starch — the Nigerian regulatory benchmark for domestic food-grade product
International food starch standard — qualifying our product for food and pharmaceutical use globally
Target Year 2 — enabling pharmaceutical excipient classification and hospital/pharma tender eligibility
