Introduction

Cassava is God’s gift to the tropics because it can grow in poor soil with inadequate rainfall. The starchy roots of cassava are major source of food for more than 700 million people all over the world. It ranks third in order of staple food crops in developing countries after rice and maize. It is called Manic in French, Tapioca in Latin America, Mandioca in Portuguese. It has universal application.

Nigeria is world’s largest producer of cassava. We produce over 41 million metric tons per annum and we are followed by Brazil, Thailand, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo), Indonesia. Thailand export over $20 billion worth of cassava products annually. Nigeria has tried to expand the local cassava business through the Composite Flour Initiative and the Cassava Empowerment Fund but so far they have attained little success. Cassava is produced in all the southern and Middle Belt State of Nigeria.

In Nigeria, comparing the output of various crops, cassava ranks first and it is about the most popular crop in Nigeria. The unpeeled roots can be used as animal feed whilst the leaves are added to animal feed as a source of protein. It provides basic sources of dietary energy. Cassava has great industrial value as it is used for industrial raw material by many industries, such as the bakery, flour, confectionery, adhesives, pharmaceutical, textile, paper and brewery, distillery industries. The Economic importance of this crop can therefore not be over emphasized.
