| Abstract:
This paper which is based on primary information collected over a wide area in sub-Saharan Africa shows that cassava production is expanding in the region. The expansion is in response to demographic and market pressures as well as to periodic famine caused by drought, plant pests and disease or by civil disturbances. In addition, adoption of improved processing techniques is also aiding the expansion in cassava production. | |
