PROCEEDINGS OF THE VALIDATION FORUM ON THE GLOBAL CASSAVA DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY Volume 2
2005On the basis of current projections, it is expected that by 2020, over 60 percent of global cassava production will be in sub-Saharan Africa, where economic growth will be slow but population growth fast. Cassava, therefore, will be a favoured source of cheap carbohydrates in the countryside and will also continue to serve as a food security crop. Furthermore, as urbanization continues in the continent, more people in cities and towns will purchase their food rather than grow it themselv es. This will continue to give small farmers a source of cash income from cassava; some of it will reach the market in a processed form. The resulting gain in poverty reduction and greater food security will depend in part on an integrated set of research and development outputs that include higher-yielding, pestresistant varieties; improved crop management and integrated protection measures as well as processing equipment and procedures; better linkages among producers, processors, an d consumers through capacity-building in market analysis and enterprise development; and improved policies that facilitate the development and adoption of these innovations -
