Why Cassava?
Cassava is a highly versatile and nutritious root vegetable, particularly important in regions with challenging growing conditions, serving as a staple food source and offering a good source of carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, as well as being a source of gluten-free flour. With a vast array of food and industrial uses cassava cultivation and processing holds tremendous potential to transform the lives and economies of communities in sub-Saharan Africa where it is cultivated.
- Thrives in poor soil and drought conditions
- Essential for food security in Africa
- Wide range of food and industrial applications
The Challenge & Opportunity
Unlocking Opportunities
Nigeria is the largest cassava producer in the world yet imports cassava by-products. Nearly 50% of the cassava produced is lost due to post-harvest loss while the rest is consumed for food. In most African countries, cassava is cultivated on a subsistence basis with very low yields. Nigeria and most African countries are yet to maximize the full value of cassava for food security, job creation, wealth creation, economic development and industrialization.
