Although the Philippines was the 1st Asian country to receive cassava from the New World via the Spanish in the 17th century, at present it is only a minor crop, grown essentially by smallholders who obtain very low yields (4-5 t/ha). There has been little government support although the crop fit...

The agricultural economy of Malaysia has traditionally been export-oriented. Cassava was the 1st of the export crops, established in the 1850s. Malaysia is a land-surplus, labor-scarce economy; thus cassava was planted in a shifting cultivation system giving it the image of a soil-depleting crop....
La economia agricola de Malaysia se ha orientado tradicionalmente hacia la exportacion. La yuca, uno de los primeros cultivos de exportacion, se establecio en la decada de 1850. Malaysia posee una economia con exceso de tierras y escasez de mano de obra; por tanto, como la yuca se producia en sis...

Malaysia: Cassava vs. tree crops in the competition for land
Cassava was probably introduced into China from South America around 1820. The main production area is in the southern province of Guandong and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. With the catastrophic famines in the 60s, efforts to spread cassava cultivation northward intensified considerably....

Indonesia is the premier example of a well-integrated cassava economy, where the multiuse characteristics of the crop are fully exploited. Av. yields range from 2.3 to 19.5 t/ha, depending on cropping system and, above all, land type. The 5 major cassava- producing zones are characterized. Cassav...

Los rendimientos prom. fluctuan entre 2.3 y 19.5 t/ha, dependiendo del sistema de cultivo y sobre todo del tipo de tierra. Se caracterizan las 5...
Research activities related to biotechnology in cassava are indicated. A solid basis has been worked out for a upcoming project of the molecular mapping of the cassava genome. A basic set of polymorphic markers from cassava genomic libraries has been selected; the generation of the linkage map us...
Se indican las actividades de investigacion relacionadas con biotecnologia en yuca. Existe una base solida para un proyecto futuro de elaboracion de mapas moleculares del genoma de yuca. Se ha seleccionado un grupo basico de marcadores polimorfos de bancos genomicos de yuca; el siguiente paso es ...
Background information is given on the Paraguayan cassava project, which aims at increasing cassava production and productivity through the use of improved technology while improving the living standards of cassava growers in Caaguazu and Paraguari. Different information retrieval procedures were...
Se dan los antecedentes del proyecto de yuca en Paraguay, el cual esta orientado hacia el aumento de la produccion y productividad de la yuca mediante el uso de tecnologia mejorada, al mismo tiempo que mejora las condiciones de vida de los cultivadores de yuca en Caaguazu y Paraguari. Se usaron d...
In Thailand cassava is produced mainly for export. The Thai cassava industry was based on starch export until the 60s when West Germany began to use CSW for animal feed. As this was a by-product of starch manufacturing, shortages resulted, leading to the market for CM. Chips became the dominant e...
En Tailandia la yuca se produce principalmente para exportacion. La industria yuquera tailandesa se baso en la exportacion de almidon hasta la decada de los 60 cuando Alemania Occidental comenzo a utilizar los residuos de almidon de yuca en alimentos para animales. Debido a que este era un subpro...
