When I look at my young cassava plant, I see more than leaves and red stems; what I see is food security, resilience in times when other crops struggle, and a major source of income that I can benefit from all year round.
Cassava is highly drought-tolerant, making it a crop that can survive in difficult environments. It is highly recommended for places where the rainfall isn't as consistent as it should be. Sometimes, when the rainfall is too much, you begin to have problems with poor growth and rotten tubers.
Generally, tubers don't require long rainfall, and most of the time, the moment the tubers start maturing in the ground, their rainfall requirements stop.
Now the fact that I kept on hammering on cassava not needing too much rainfall doesn't mean it should be starved, now here is why, the moment tubers begin to grow it needs space underneath the ground to grow now situation where there is no rainfall at all and the ground is completely dry then it becomes difficult for the tubers to grow, the ground becomes a confinement with no space to expand and secondly extreme heat can easily damage tubers making it rot now rainfall will go along way to stop this but the rainfall doesn't have to be too frequent.
Now, the fortune you could make from this is reasonably high, and many farmers around me are making millions out of it. All you need is the investment, the right mindset, and a little training to go with it. This is one lucrative thing to look at.
I hope this post has charged you up to cultivate cassava and make a lot out of it.
