| Cassava
cultivation as a business |
|
| |
|
The first step is to define the
business:
|
|
| |
|
- Cultivation
of cassava stem cuttings.
- Production
of whole cassava plants.
- Production
of cassava tubers.
|
|
|
|
|
| General
interest in farming and cassava in particular, is required and it is
important. You must be fully prepared and properly informed before you
begin to undertake any cassava business. |
|
Are you ready to become a successful
cassava-based businessman? Cassava cultivation is the business of growing
cassava leaves, stems, and roots for profit. The main focus is on the roots
and stems, but the
leaves are a good supplementary output with a potential cash value.

The business environment in Nigeria must be understood and plans must be
made relevant to the local business community. The stage of agricultural
development in the nation will affect every step of your work. Specific
conditions and specified scales of operations for the particular business
must be the chief concern of the entrepreneur. The general estimates used
in the business plan are based on the best-bet knowledge
and estimates available. The actual farming will require close follow-up
at every step of the cultivation process. This is to enable you to pay attention
to important details and to modify the business plan when necessary. This
way, you will be able to further reduce cost at every stage of the field
work.
