Welcome to Cassava Value Chain (Cassava Pathway), a certified, trusted resource dedicated to supporting sustainable development across the cassava industry.
We exist to serve the farmers, processors, and all stakeholders involved in the cassava value chain by providing accurate information, practical guidance, and innovative solutions aimed at increasing productivity and improving livelihoods.
Cassava is a vital crop that sustains millions of people worldwide, especially in tropical regions. Yet, challenges such as low yields, pest infestations, inadequate processing technology, and limited market access continue to hinder its full potential.
At Cassava Pathway, we recognize these systemic constraints and actively work to address them through research-driven initiatives, capacity building, and strengthening collaboration among all actors in the cassava value chain.
Our commitment is to be the bridge that connects knowledge, technology, and people. We provide farmers and processors with the tools and insights needed to maximize their production efficiency and product quality.
By doing so, we contribute to economic growth, food security, and improved welfare for communities reliant on cassava.
Our Mission
At the core of the Cassava Pathway is a clear and focused mission: to empower cassava farmers, processors, and value chain actors by facilitating the adoption of best practices, access to quality inputs, and enhanced processing technologies.
We understand that the success of the cassava industry depends heavily on the productivity of smallholder farmers, who form the backbone of cassava production in many countries.
Our goal is to help these farmers increase their yields through the promotion of high-yielding and disease-resistant cassava varieties combined with sound agronomic practices.
We support farmers in adopting sustainable farming methods that preserve the environment while boosting output.
For processors, we emphasize the importance of efficient, modern equipment and innovative techniques to improve the quality and value of cassava by-products such as flour, starch, chips, and other processed goods.
Enhancing processing capacity not only increases profitability but also creates employment opportunities, stimulating local economies.
We facilitate access to improved varieties and quality inputs like certified seeds, fertilizers, and crop protection products that are vital for healthy and productive cassava crops.
In addition, we champion the use of appropriate technologies designed to optimize post-harvest handling and processing, reducing losses and ensuring that farmers get the best returns for their efforts.
By fostering partnerships and knowledge exchange among researchers, agribusinesses, government agencies, and farmers’ groups, Cassava Pathway strengthens the overall cassava ecosystem. This collaborative approach allows us to address challenges holistically and sustainably.
