Increasing cassava production in Nigeria and prospects for sustaining the trend.

In terms of consumption, cassava is the most important root crop in Nigeria. It is also an important source of cash income, as about 45% of total output is marketed by the producer. Trends in cassava production, factors responsible for the increasing production, and prospects for increasing and sustaining production beyond the current level, are discussed. Increasing production is attributed to purchased inputs, processing and marketing infrastructures, and presence of a market for cassava. Market demand, an efficient input delivery system and the availability of appropriate postharvest and marketing infrastructures will help to sustain the trend of increasing cassava production in Nigeria.
