Why cassava

It grows where maize gives up, there is always a buyer for it, and nothing on the plant is wasted.

Why farmers do well with it

Per hectare, cassava earns about three times the gross margin of maize. It handles the short rains and the dry spells that ruin maize on the coast, and the roots can wait in the ground until the farmer is ready to harvest.

There is a huge market at home and in industry. Factories use cassava for baking, cardboard, packaging, beer, starch and glue, so there is demand for both chips and flour.

What one acre can give

4,000 cuttings × 10 kg each = 40,000 kg an acre

That is our target per acre, with good cuttings and good care.

Dry chips: what you get

Moisture: 10%
Dust: 3%
Uses: briquettes, animal feed, bio-fuel
