| dc.description | The main staple crop in the lake shore districts, cassava is the second most important staple crop after maize in Malawi. Becoming commercially important, its production has nearly tripled in ten years and small scale farmers and food enterprises, though strong contenders for regional and domestic market opportunities, have difficulties entering the value chain. To unleash their potential, the African Roots and Tubers project sought to: (i) increase and intensify sustainable market-led production and (ii) strengthen farmers’ cooperatives; (iii) improve access to climate change risk management tools and access to finance; and (iv) develop business models throughout the value chain in which farmers and enterprises play a key role. | |
