About
Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State is historically associated with the production of "Ijebu garri," a premium variety of fermented and granulated cassava that is distinctively sour and fine-grained. Cassava processing — peeling, grating, fermenting, pressing, and frying — is a communal tradition passed through Ijebu women's networks. Ijebu garri commands a price premium across Nigerian markets and has become a cultural identifier for the Ijebu people.
