Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Alhaji Muhammad Sabo Nanono particularly noted that despite the importance of smallholder farmers, their livelihoods were constrained by a host of challenges. Nigeria is currently the largest producer of cassava in the world, with an estimated figure of about 60million metric tonnes, and with the capacity to double or triple the production figure if the product is fully industrialised. But market access has remained a huge problem despite various attempts to include cassava in bakery flour and other value chain products like starch and so on. The CAF is facilitating the knowledge sharing platform of farmers, government, off-takers and financial institutions with credible credit delivery services, input dealers and civil society organisations. It is an inclusive market engagement strategy, which drives the decision of smallholder farmers to produce for identified markets.
