INTRODUCTION

Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Background to the Study

The introduction of this study provides an overview of the garri business and its significance in the socio-economic landscape of Iseyin, a town located in Oyo State, Nigeria. Garri, a staple food derived from cassava, holds immense cultural, economic, and nutritional importance in Nigeria. It serves as a source of livelihood for many individuals and contributes significantly to local and national economies. Understanding the historical development and socio-economic impact of the garri business in Iseyin is essential for comprehending its role in the broader context of rural development and economic transformation.

Garri, a staple food derived from cassava, holds a central place in the socio-economic fabric of Nigeria. With its rich cultural significance and widespread consumption, garri production and trade contribute significantly to rural livelihoods and economic development. One such area where the garri business thrives is Iseyin, a town located in Oyo State, Nigeria. Iseyin has a long-standing tradition of cassava cultivation and garri processing, making it a hub for the garri industry in the region.

The garri business plays a crucial role in the socio-economic development of Iseyin, shaping livelihoods, trade networks, and community dynamics. However, despite its significance, there is limited research on the historical evolution and socio-economic impact of the garri industry in Iseyin, particularly during the period from 1986 to 1999. Understanding the factors driving the growth of the garri business and its implications for local development is essential for informing policy decisions, fostering sustainable economic practices, and promoting inclusive growth in rural areas.
