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....
