ABSTRACT
This study analysis cassava
production, processing and consumption in Ikwuano L.G.A of Nigeria. To fulfill
the objectives, a well structural questionnaire was administered to cassava
farmers in Ikwuano. In analyzing the data collectect, a regression model w used
for cassava production and consumption function was fitted for consumers of
cassava products. The results gave- indication that there was increase in
cassava production. Farm size, fertilizer, cost of planting material and labour
were significant factors that determine cassava production in the study area.
While household size and price of the commodity, were significant determinant
of consumption of cassava. All of these signs of the factors conform to a
priori expectation except age. In line with the findings, this research
recommends that reduction in the household size will lead to farmers consuming
little and saving more. Also increase in production of cassava will lead to
attainment of food security in the country. If policies that will encourage
continual subsidy in agriculture, implementation of the Land Use Act with
farmers in view and strengthening of agricultural cooperatives are encouraged.
New interventions are necessary in cassava processing the study area.
