Looking at the value chain of both crops
Which one of these two crops has the most robust Value Chain
Look at it from the Revenue and Number of chains within the Value line
A. Cassava
B. Maize
Let's hear it...
The "food of the poor" has become a multipurpose crop that responds to the priorities of developing countries, to trends in the global economy and to the challenge of climate change.

Proud to be part of the MBD-Free project implemented in #zanzibar
I have presented my proposal during the first project planning meeting: Using NGS 🧬to explore the diversity of mosquitoes 🦟 and mosquito-borne viruses in hospital settings

Our exciting research on cassava crop protection revealed a 41% drop in whiteflies using Flupyradifurone. This IPM method preserves natural enemies, boosting root yield by 49% in Tanzanian trials. IITA’s scientists are making progress for Africa’s food security! 🌱 #AgTech#IPM
Flupyradifurone application through cutting dipping reduced whitefly numbers and CMD incidence in cassava for up to six months. https://t.co/yaIcpbqjZg
🌿🚜 Whitefly Control 🌿
Dipping #cassava cuttings in the environmentally friendly product Flupyradifurone for just 1️⃣ hour before planting reduced whitefly numbers for 6️⃣ months & increased farmers' yields in #Tanzania🇹🇿 by 4️⃣9️⃣%
