Agricultural by-product
Cassava peels emerge from processing activity and can become a local waste-management concern.
Impact & sustainability
Creating wealth from agricultural waste.
A circular value model that connects cassava processing, feed supply and opportunity in the communities where we operate.
Founder’s vision
Patrick WakFounder, Patrick Stone Ventures
Our vision and mission are simple: to create wealth from waste generated through agricultural processes.
In the founder’s words
See how the process creates value.
Patrick Wak explains the cassava-peel challenge, the drying and milling process, and the opportunity to create useful products and work within operating communities.

Value should not end with the cassava tuber.
Cassava processing generates peels that can accumulate around facilities in rural communities if they do not have a productive outlet.
Drying and milling
The peels are collected, prepared, dried and processed through hammer mills.
Useful ingredient
The resulting flour or grits can serve suitable fish, poultry and wider feed formulations.
Shared value
Agricultural material gains commercial purpose while operations create local participation and work opportunities.
Three dimensions of value
Practical impact across the value chain.
We describe impact carefully and do not publish unsupported environmental savings or employment figures.
Productive resource use
Processing creates an alternative use for cassava peels that might otherwise accumulate around processing locations.
Commercial value from waste
Drying and milling turn an agricultural by-product into products that can participate in feed value chains.
Opportunity in operating communities
Collection and processing activities can support gainful work and participation for young people in the communities where we operate.
How we approach sustainability
Specific, useful and accountable.
Use resources purposefully
Look for commercial applications for agricultural materials that are being underused.
Build local capability
Create opportunities for people to participate in collection, handling and processing activities.
Serve real demand
Connect processed products with genuine feed-sector and agricultural requirements.
Communicate honestly
Avoid unsupported claims and provide current product information directly to buyers.
Frequently asked questions
Circular agriculture and community value.
Patrick Stone Ventures creates productive uses for cassava peels generated during cassava processing. The peels are collected, dried and processed into flour and grits that can participate in suitable animal-feed value chains.
Cassava peels can accumulate around processing locations when they lack a productive outlet. Processing creates an alternative commercial use for the by-product while connecting cassava processors with feed-sector demand.
Yes. The cassava peel operation follows a circular-agriculture approach by turning an agricultural by-product into useful products for suitable applications instead of treating the peels solely as waste.
Cassava peel collection, preparation and processing can create opportunities for local participation in agricultural value chains. The model combines productive resource use with commercial activity around the communities where processing takes place.
