The Cassava Value Chain Initiative is a national program aimed at enhancing industrial cassava production and processing to improve livelihoods, strengthen food security, and support local manufacturing. The project seeks to boost cassava yields from 23.7MT/ha to 45MT/ha by promoting the adoption of high-yielding industrial cassava varieties, building farmer capacity, and establishing commercial production systems. It targets both smallholder and commercial farmers, with interventions across the full value chain—from planting material multiplication to processing and market access. Key objectives include supporting the establishment of mini- and large-scale processing plants, expanding commercial cassava fields by 100,000 hectares, and increasing farmer incomes through better productivity and market linkages.
