In most parts of the Philippines, root crops have evolved from being mainly a source of energy-rich human food to a key commercial crop with high-value and marketable products in the form of flour and grates. Economic analysis indicates that cassava flour could be competitive, both in price and q...

In Thailand cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is considered one of the most important economic crops. Thailand has demonstrated the importance of cassava as more than a subsistence crop, and has developed a large and complex industrial system for processing and marketing of the crop. Production ...

Development models are outlined to shed light on cassava's potential to generate economic growth. Since small cassava producers are to a large extent marginalized from the development process in Latin America, the CIAT cassava program has tried to define development strategies that are clearly or...
