This paper examines the drivers of Africa’s rapidly increasing cassava output using panel data for 37 African countries from 1961 to 2020 and the random effects regression. It analyses the influence of average yields per hectare and area harvested on annual cassava production. Since the 1960s,...

This study focused on analyzing the determinants of technology upgrading and productivity growth in cassava production of farms in Dak Lak province from 2015 to 2018. Using the Data Envelopment Analysis method (DEA) to obtain the Malmquist indices of the total factor productivity (TFPCH) and...

The paper assesses the potential impact of the adoption of improved cassava varieties on yields of smallholder farmers. Agricultural intensification is associated with increasing yields per hectare through the use of improved varieties. Studies have established the relationship between adoption...

The main objective of the report is to develop business models on farming and/or processing of cassava, maize and plantain in Cote d'Ivoire that would help financial institutions to gain better knowledge of the value chains, to design appropriate financing products and to streamline the loan...
