Abstract

The paper traces the development of cassava as an important food and trading crop in Viet Nam and Thailand. It reviews the constraints and opportunities for improving the well-being of Asia's rural poor, focusing on cassava. Improving this crop is a way to direct various benefits toward the poorest of rural populations, as well as to contribute to broader economic development. It focuses on cassava research and development, and specific goals and activities of cassava research. Interventions are broadly divided into demand and supply side categories.
