Efficiency of Marketing Systems of Cassava in Southeast, Nigeria | Chapter 4 | Emerging Issues in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 6

 The aim of the study search out examine the effectiveness of the marketing structures of cassava in Southeast, Nigeria. The study objectives search out view global cassava result, access cassava result and shopping in Nigeria, and examine the shopping systems and allure efficiency in Nigeria. Nigeria is the top builder of cassava, accounting for 20% of the worldwide total of 303 million tonnes of cassava result in 2020. Democratic Republic of the Congo and Thailand were other main cassava growers in the world. Worldwide cassava result reached over 291 heap tons in 2017, with Africa bearing more than 60% of that total. State-level cassava result in Nigeria is ruled by the South-South States of Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, and Delta. About 70% of the total cassava result in Nigeria is produced in Ogun, Ondo, and Oyo in the South-West and Enugu and Imo in the South-East. However, prices for cassava in Nigerian markets disagree from State to State and for the different by-amount of cassava, including cassava vigor, cassava flour, cassava money, garri (eba), akpu (fufu), and abacha (bobozi/flakes). Cassava flour costs middle from two points 250,000 and 350,000 naira per ton, cassava vigor costs between 300,000 and 450,000 naira per heap, and cassava chips cost approximately 60,000 naira per ton. The study focal points the abundant stakeholders in cassava shopping, including builders, distributors, retailers, consumers, and processors. Efficiency in cassava shopping systems supports effective price buildings and encourages cassava worth chain processes.
