Success story 1Smallholder cassava farmers and processors
benefitting and profiting from improved cassava-based value chains
2010 – 2012 : Adopted Village intervention activities increased yield of smallholder cassava farmers at Eleyowo village, Akure South local government of Ondo state. Village level processing facility was rudimentary and elementary and so could not absorb output; high transportation cost and perceived low price discouraged farmers from selling to large processors. There are farmer-identified opportunities in value chain of common cassava products in near-by markets e.g garri, lafun, fufu etc
15th May, 2013 - the College Adopted Village Programme commissioned and trained Eleyowo farmer groups on cassava value addition with equipment support in order for them to participate profitably and benefit from cassava-based value chain in that community•Village committee took ownership of the centre immediately and worked out –Operational guidelines–Service provision charges–Maintenance and sustainability–Marketing.
