Cassava production favourable for northern Botswana

The secretariat last month asked the region to consider scaling up cassava value chain development, commercialisation and access to high growth markets for high quality cassava flour value chain, amidst low maize production due to prevailing dry spells. 

The director of crop production in the MoA, Galeitsiwe Ramokapane has however said based on its growth requirements, the possibility of its successful establishment is in the northern parts of the country where rainfall and temperatures are somehow favourable.
