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...

Beans are attacked by a large no. of plant pathogens and insect pests, many of which can reduce yields drastically. Farmers with small land holdings usually have limited resources but produce most of the beans in L.A. Control strategies feasible for these growers may be restricted to those strate...
El frijol es atacado por un gran no. de organismos fitopatogenos y plagas, muchas de las cuales disminuyen los rendimientos significativamente. Los agricultores que poseen pequenas parcelas tienen generalmente ingresos muy limitados pero producen casi todo el frijol en America Latina. Las estrate...
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....

In L.A., food uses determine the demand for cassava, especially in rural areas, because of problems in marketing this highly perishable crop. Production is stagnant due apparently to the lack of growth in demand. A significant growth market for cassava products is needed; e.g., the alcohol progra...
En America Latina, la utilizacion de los alimentos determina la demanda de yuca, especialmente en las areas rurales, debido a los problemas en el mercadeo de este cultivo altamente perecedero. La produccion se ha estancado debido a la falta de crecimiento de la demanda. Se necesita un significant...
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....
