The flyer captures the achievements made from June 2014 to July 2015 to establish a growing and vibrant sweetpotato community of practice that enables sweetpotato researchers, development agents, farmers and consumers to obtain and apply sweetpotato knowledge effectively. The flyer details the de...
In the tropics, cassava starch is produced at artisanal and industrial scales. This paper focuses on a new methodology enabling the technoeconomical comparison of small-scale cassava starch manufacturing process (1–5 t of starch/day) in two markedly different contexts (Colombia and Vietnam). Meas...
This study employed a choice model to examine the factors influencing the choice of post-harvest technologies in cassava starch processing, using a sample of five hundred and seventy (570) processors in the forest and guinea savanna zones of Nigeria. In addition, the profitability of various post...

Drivers of technical efficiency in cassava processing in Nigeria: implications for a commercializing food sector
Fritters are flour-based snacks made from wheat flour, but a cheaper alternative is needed in a developing economy, such as Zambia, owing to the high cost of wheat. This study aimed at evaluating fritters produced from different sources: fresh cassava roots, high-quality cassava flour (HQCF), and...
