Despite Nigeria’s leading position as the world’s leading cultivator of cassava, contribution of the Niger Delta, availability of market and the sustained efforts to improve the value chain, very little exists on the cassava production capacity of the Niger Delta and the distribution of clusters.
Market Development Programme in the Niger Delta (MADE), which is funded by the Department for International Development (DFID), commissioned this mapping of cassava producing clusters in the Niger Delta to get a basis for effective planning and developing of the value chain and to enable commercial processors understand the availability of raw material and use same to plan their procurements.
