Role of small-scale cassava drying plants in improving equitable rural economic growth and development
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/69846
Abstract
The identification, introduction and development of cassava drying technology has led to a more stable and wider cassava market in several important cassava growing regions in Latin America. In turn, this has been an incentive for small-scale cassava farmers to increase both cassava area and production using improved…
