Abstract
Although the Philippines was the 1st Asian country to receive cassava from the New World via the Spanish in the 17th century, at present it is only a minor crop, grown essentially by smallholders who obtain very low yields (4-5 t/ha). There has been little government support although the crop fits well into efforts to obtain self-sufficiency. The major producing areas are the…

Malaysia: Cassava vs. tree crops in the competition for land
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/81973
Abstract
The agricultural economy of Malaysia has traditionally been export-oriented. Cassava was the 1st of the export crops, established in the 1850s. Malaysia is a land-surplus, labor-scarce economy; thus cassava was planted in a shifting cultivation system giving it the image of a soil-depleting crop. Data are also provided on yields, production systems,…
