General objectives To use a farmers’ cluster model.To recommend a feasible scheme of producing 100,000 t of cassava roots at minimum cost.IITA-WASCO CVC PROJECT
Starch content + cassava tubers
Processing centers and gari production
Job creation/opportunities
Promotion of mechanized farmingFour-row planterTractorIncreased productivities and profitability
starch yield is achievable in farm level identified reliable service providers use mechanized farming and increase profit margins Proved that farmers can make millions through cassava farming Achievements made over the past 3-4 years
Objectivesmultiplication and dissemination of improved cassava varieties to cluster farmers around industriesTo introduce smallholder farmers to improved cassava production management practicesTo create effective linkages that guarantee the sustainable supply of raw materials (cassava roots) to MATNA and NSM and by extension/implication increase starch supply to NestléNestlé Plc Cassava Value Chain Project
Project locations – SE-axis & SW-axis(0 – 150 km)
Trainings and extension materials725 farmers trained in cassava production Extension materials developed, produced and used Powerline, Ondo State
Supply of stems and plantingImproved stems (30,180 bundles) supplied to 503 farmers to plant 503 ha in 2011 & 2012

A member of CGIAR consortiumThe Nigerian Cassava Transformation Agenda (CTA) IITA’s support to CTAIt aims to create a new generation of cassava farmers, oriented towards commercial production, and treating farming as a business. Over 284,489 bundles of improved stems distributed to farmers in 2013Support for the Staple Crops Processing Zones

FMARD: Staple Crops Processing ZonesImproving investment frameworks for agriculture: this idea focuses on attracting private sector agribusinesses to set up processing plants in zones of high food production, to process commodities into food products.
We must eat what we grow and grow what we eat
