Cassava Pathway is Nigeria’s most practical online resource for cassava farming, processing, and the full cassava value chain.
Built by a cassava farmer from Abia State, Eastern Nigeria, for farmers, processors, entrepreneurs, researchers, and anyone who wants to understand cassava from the inside.
Where Cassava Pathway Comes From
Cassava Pathway was not built in a boardroom or a content studio. It was built from a farm.
The founder, Chimeremeze Emeh, has been farming cassava in Abia State, Eastern Nigeria, for over 30 years. He grew up in Ngwa land, where every family cultivates at least two cassava farms each season.
As a child, he cleared bush, tilled the earth, planted stems, weeded, harvested, and processed cassava by hand.
As an adult, he has continued that work on his own farm, growing TMS 419, TME 419, and local traditional varieties, processing his harvest into garri, fufu, cassava flour, and starch, and selling into the local market.
That foundation is what makes Cassava Pathway different from every other cassava resource online.
Most cassava content comes from researchers and institutions who study the crop from the outside.
Cassava Pathway comes from someone who has lived it from the inside, season after season, for over three decades.

The Vision
Cassava is one of the most underutilised crops in Africa. We grow more of it than almost anywhere else in the world, yet most of it is processed at the most basic level.
The vision behind Cassava Pathway goes beyond information sharing. The founder is actively working toward establishing a modern cassava processing plant in Nigeria, producing cassava starch, sorbitol, HQCF, and modified cassava starch, with a zero-waste model that converts cassava residues into animal feed and biogas energy.
Everything published on this site feeds that vision. The knowledge, the network, and the community being built here are all part of a larger mission to transform what cassava means for Nigeria and for Africa.
