ABSTRACT
This study examined the value chain analysis
(production process and cost related to each element of production chain to add
value). On cassava and cassava products in Imo State, specifically in Ohaji, to
ascertain the farm size holdings of the respondents as well as the ownership of
the land used for production. It also identified the forms of labour used in
production, household size, farming experience and how the products are
utilized. The study also estimated the value of cassava products in the area
within the current year. It also examined how products are sold to the final
consumers. The study was carried out in one Local Government Area out 'or the
three agricultural zones in Imo State. A total of 40 ยท 5 respondents were
sampled out of the two villages but 31 out of 40 'respondents responded. It was
also found that the value obtained from processing cassava into garri gave the
highest value among others derivatives. The value of the coefficient of determination
R was 0.8311 which implies that 83.11% of the variations in profit from cassava
value addition were explained by the variables in the model, i.e. the
independent variable tested accounted for 83.11% of the variability in the
dependent variable. R was found to be significant at 1%, 5% and I 0%
respectively.
Key words;
cassava, value chain analysis, production, derivatives, farming.
