CURRENT STATUS
Nigerian cassava production is by far the largest in the world; a third more than production in Brazil and almost double that of Indonesia and Thailand. Cassava production in other African countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Madagascar, Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda appears small in comparison to Nigeria’s substantial output.

On a per capita basis, North Central Nigeria is the highest producing region at 720kg per person, followed by South East 560 kg, South South 470kg, South West 340kg, North West 100kg and North East 10kg. National per capita production of cassava is 320 kg per person.

Benue and Kogi states in the North Central Zone are the largest producers of cassava (IITA, 2004). Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Delta states dominate cassava production in the South South. Ogun, Ondo and Oyo dominate in the South West and Enugu and Imo dominate production in the South East. Kaduna alone in the North West is comparable in output to many of the states in the southern regions at almost 2 million tonnes a year with very little currently produced, in the North East.

I tell people that North Central produces most of the food we consume against the notion that North is feeding the south..
The middle belt who produces the food does not make the kind of noise we here from people of the core north
