Times of Zambia | Going commercial with cassava

By Chatula Kangali-
CASSAVA has in the recent past witnessed growing demand due to the increase in its industrial use and  wide value chain.
The increased demand for cassava has resulted in the rise in the price of the crop on both the local and regional markets.
According to Fortune Business Insights, the global cassava starch market size is predicted to reach $66.84 billion by 2026, which local farmers should take advantage of by increasing production.
Among the factors that are   encouraging demand is the popular use of the crop in various industries such as alcohol, textile and energy production among others.
