In 2006-2007
Problems
 Loe technology applied
 Poorly seed usage
 Land degradation
 Imbalance trading
 Only as secondary crops
 High fluctuating price
 Low cassava processing at farmer’s level
Solutions proposed
 Extending cooperation in order to
 Raising production trhough better technologies.
 Better cassava cultivation and enough agricultural inputs
such as fertilizers, machinaries, etc.
 Better extension staffs
 Price regulation
 Market diversivication
 Rural agro processing based on cassava.
