Cassava roots deteriorate rapidly after harvesting and must be chipped and dried to less than 14% moisture content for storage. Drying can be done on the farm, on either concrete floors or inclined mesh trays. Optimum loading rate on concrete is 5-7 kg/m2 and 10-16 kg/m2 on trays, depending on wi...
The principal aspects that should be considered when constructing the min. infrastructure necessary for a cassava plant with a 500 m(2) drying surface and a capacity to dry 6 t/wk. are described in detail, in addition to the equipment (scales, chipper, and motor), and implements and tools (wheelb...
