Vegetatively propagated crop (VPC) seed tends to remain true to varietal type but is bulky, often carries disease, and is slow to produce. So VPC seed needs to be handled differently than that of other crops, e.g., it tends to be sourced locally, often must be fresh, and it is less often sold on ...

Understanding root, tuber, and banana seed systems and coordination breakdown: A multi-stakeholder framework.
A collaborative project of the Colombian Integrated Rural Development Program (DRI) and CIAT, aimed at establishing small agroindustrial firms to produce dry cassava on the Atlantic Coast of Colombia, is described. It began with the installation of a pilot plant for natural drying of cassava, wit...

Secado natural de yuca para la alimentacion animal: Una nueva agroindustria en Colombia
From July 1984 to June 1985, 13 new drying plants were established on the Atlantic Coast of Colombia for a total of 20 plants. During the 1984-85 campaign, these plants processed 7158 t fresh cassava (total of 3006 t dry cassava), representing an increase of 217 percent over the previous campaign...

El desarrollo agro-industrial del cultivo de la yuca en la Costa Atlantica de Colombia. Cuarto informe sobre el desarrollo de la agroindustria de yuca seca durante el periodo julio 1984-junio 1985
The natural and solar drying system of cassava chips using natural air forced through the product with the help of a fan is described. This process enables drying to occur in the least time possible without affecting chip quality; likewise, it is not expensive. The system consists of a rural dryi...

Two levels of CM substitution (25 and 50 percent) for industrial concentrate were studied; 3 treatments (with broiler chicks randomly assigned to blocks) during fattening were compared with a check treatment (100 percent industrial concentrate). Slaughter wt. over 1.5 kg/animal were obtained, wit...
