Resumen
Descripción
Cassava is one of the most important food crops in Cameroon. Typically considered a subsistence crop and cultivated by smallholder farmers, cassava offers enormous business opportunities, including a wide range of derived products. However, the actors involved in this sector are facing issues related to organizational aspects, low productivity, access to finance and climatic risks. In order to improve the living conditions of these actors, the project aims at the following results: (i) existing national and regional strategies are aligned with initiatives that support the development of better integration of regional markets in the cassava sector; (ii) the competitiveness and viability of cassava actors are strengthened by improving inclusive business models, sustainable intensification of production, and the capacity of small and medium enterprises and farmer organizations; (iii) access to information services and finance is improved for smallholders; and (iv) small producers have access to climatic risk management instruments.
