Cassava Utilization in Food, Feed and Industry

چکیده
Cassava contributes significantly to the nutrition and livelihood of up to 500 million people and thousands of processors and traders around the world. Besides serving as the primary staple food of millions of people in the tropics and subtropics, it can also be used as a carbohydrate source in animal feed. Cassava is used as a raw material in the manufacture of processed food, animal feed and industrial products. Wider utilization of cassava products can be a catalyst for rural industrial development and raise the incomes for producers, processors and traders. It can also contribute to the food security status of its producing and consuming households (Plucknett et al., 1998).
