It aimed to produce a substitute component in fabrication of furniture, door boards, cabinets, decorations and in constructions. The following treatments that were used in the study were 20:50:30 (68.8 g coconut shell, 172 g coco coir, 103.2 g peanut husk) for treatment 1, 10:40:50 (34.4 g coconut shell, 437.6 g coco coir, 172 g peanut husk) for treatment 2 and 33.33:33.33:33.33 (113.52 g - goconut shell, 113.52 g coco coir, 113.52 g peanut husk) for treatment 3 with the same " amount of binder of 875.64 g cassava starch and 500.36 g of water. The study was conducted to determine the performance of medium density fiberboard in terms of; physical (water absorption, fire resistance, nailing, sawing) and mechanical properties (deflection, flexural strength); and determine the production cost of the fiberboard. The water absorption of T3 had the least amount of water absorbed with a mean of 90.67 g while T; and Tz had the highest absorption rate with a means of 101.3 g and 99 g. The result also found that all treatments was not significant with each other. For the results in fire resistance, T; had the widest area burned having a mean area of 422.48 cm? while T3 had the shortest area burned having a mean area of 199.86 cm? followed by T2 with 261.34 cm*. The result also shows that all treatments was highly significant with each other. Tn terms of sawing and nailing properties T; had the highest satisfaction rating of 82.93%. While T3 had the shortest average satisfaction rating of 75.2% followed by T2 with 69.6% satisfaction rating. With regards to the flexural strength of T; was the strongest among the treatments having a mean load of 10.39 Mpa compared to T2 and T3 having a mean load of 8.70 Mpa and 7.44 Mpa respectively. The result also found that they were highly significant with each other.
