| dc.description | The situation of root and tuber crops in Montserrat is presented. The main cropping systems, available land, socioeconomic factors, production levels, productivity, imports, and price structure and markets are discussed. Cassava is almost unknown in Montserrat; it is specifically grown for processing into cassava bread during the festival season. The crop is rarely grown in pure stand, but is planted along field borders and contours, and intercropped with pigeon pea, sweet potato, and aroids. The recommendations given include that of conducting more studies on cassava to improve its production and introduce small-scale processing. (CIAT) | |
| dc.description | Se presenta la situacion de los cultivos de raices y tuberculos en Montserrat. Se discuten los principales sistemas de cultivo, las tierras disponibles, los factores socioeconomicos, los niveles de produccion, la productividad, las importaciones y la estructura de precios y mercados. La yuca es poco conocida en Montserrat; se cultiva especificamente para elaborar pan de yuca durante las festividades. Raramente se siembra en cultivo puro pero se cultiva a los bordes de las parcelas y en los contornos intercalado con guandul, batata y aroides. Entre las recomendaciones esta la de adelantar mas estudios sobre yuca para mejorar su produccion e introducir el procesamiento en pequena escala. (CIAT) | |
