A Guide to Growing Cassava for Profit

This is a book about the agricultural production of Cassava, one of the world's most important crops. Cassava is the second most important crop to rice and maize in Africa, the Caribbean and Asia. Cassava, even though, is grown in the tropics, its economic potential extends beyond Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. The main reasons of this economic potential are cassava ability to grow in most climatic conditions, including drought-prone areas, and its many uses. The demand for Cassava Flour and Starch and a cheaper production of Ethanol are the main drivers of the Cassava economic opportunities. According to industry experts, in 2023, the Cassava starch market alone was valued at US$5.45 billion and it is expected to grow to US$8.14 in 2030. In the same period, the Cassava Flour market was valued at US$1.6 - 4.64 billion and is expected to grow to US$7.4 billion. This Guide is intended to give cassava growers, would-be entrepreneurs and government actors a simple guide on how to produce cassava profitably with a look at not only its economic benefits but also its potential for solving some of the unemployment and Food and Nutrition insecurity crises in Africa and beyond.
