Cassava's Introduction

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the second largest crop production in Cambodia after rice.

Cassava crops are mostly planted by small-scale farmers and producers for food, as an addition to rice for daily consumption by humans and animals, as well as for cassava powder.

 Most of the cassava produced in Cambodia is exported through Thailand and Vietnam, and only a small portion is processed in local small-scale factories in the country.

Cassava is a type of foods for human animals since ancient times. Cassava can be used as vegetables because their leaves are rich in vitamin A, which can also help prevent eye diseases in children.
