People consume the root and use it to make drugs. Cassava is used to treat tiredness, diarrheal dehydration, sepsis, and to induce hard work. However, there is not any just right scientific proof to support those claims. Cassava root and leaves are fed on.

Cassava has an identical nutritional value to potatoes. Cassava is the third-largest source of food carbohydrates in the tropics, behind rice and maize. Cassava is a significant staple food within the developing international, feeding over part one thousand million people. It is among the most drought-tolerant crops, ready to develop in deficient soils. Nigeria is the world’s greatest cassava producer, whilst Thailand is the arena’s greatest exporter of cassava starch.

Cassava is Nigeria’s most essential and valuable root crop, and this can be a dependable crop in both rural and urban households. Cassava is a significant source of revenue for rural Cassava farmers and processors.

Cassava alone accounts for roughly 45 percent of Nigeria’s agricultural GDP for feeding or home use, but its business processing and usage had been very restricted.

The country currently produces around 40,000,000 tonnes of the commodity, and due to the federal government’s desire to reduce import dependency and conserve foreign exchange earnings, a national program aimed at increasing Cassava flour production to be substituted with wheat flour has been implemented.

Garri, wheat flour, animal feed, ethanol for biofuels, and other cassava products are available.

Is it profitable to grow cassava?

Cassava is one of the world’s most important cash crops, therefore it’s a safe bet that investing in cassava farming will pay off, as long as you have the appropriate training to get started and make a profit.

What is the ideal season for cassava planting?

Cassava planting should begin in October, at the commencement of the brief rainy season. Cassava grows swiftly as a result of this. Early-maturing high-yielding types can be harvested after 5-7 months, whereas late-maturing kinds can be harvested after 12 months.

What is the ideal time of the year to harvest cassava?

Cassava can be harvested throughout the year, as long as the roots reach maturity. For the highest starch yield per hectare, harvest 5-7 or 10-12 months after planting. If the tubers are not separated from the plant, they can remain in the ground for up to two years before becoming fibrous and woody. Cassava tubers are best harvested during the dry season because they are high in starch, drying is simple, and the products can be easily processed and preserved.

How do you space and plant cassava?

To avoid evaporation and evapotranspiration, cassava stems should be planted early in the morning or late in the evening. Cassava plants require a spacing of 1m by 1m to achieve a healthy output; the space between plants is the feeding area of the plants.

How much money can be made per acre from cassava?

A cassava acre yields 4-8 MT, which equates to 1.5-4 metric tons of dried cassava chips and 1.2-2.5 metric tons of cassava flour.

What is the price of cassava?

Cassava prices vary by state in Nigeria, but the average price per ton of cassava starch is between 400,000 and 550,000 dollars, while the average price per ton of cassava flour is between 350,000 and 450,000 dollars.

Cassava harvesting takes how many months?

Cassava has a rather extended growth cycle when compared to other significant crops. Farmers must wait 10-12 months on average — occasionally up to 24 months! — to harvest the roots; maize, rice, and potatoes have growth cycles that are less than a third of that.

From a ton of cassava, how many bags of garri can be made?

Nearly 4 tons of cassava may be transformed into 1 ton of garri under typical conditions. As a result, one ton of fresh cassava can produce more than 250 kilograms of garri. This indicates that one ton of fresh cassava will produce more than five bags of garri, each weighing 50 kg.

What are the challenges in cultivating cassava?    

Pests and diseases (cassava mosaic disease, cassava bacterial blight, cassava anthracnose disease, cassava bud necrosis, root rots, mealybugs, green mite, and others), weather-related issues, poor soil, land dilapidation, livestock damage, and other hazards are all common problems in cassava production.

What are the solutions to the problems in cultivating cassava?

Use of disease-resistant cassava varieties, applying fertilizer to the soil, building a fence round the farm to prevent assess by livestock, testing the soil type by experts before use, use of modern farm machines and so on.

We welcome you heartily to this blog. The success doors were made of wood yesterday. Today they are made of steel. The keys of yesterday were big and made by local blacksmiths. The keys of today are small but open big doors. Some doors don’t even need any key. Some need you to approach them and then they open. Others need you to use remote control on them. Hence the need for new keys.
