Cassava, scientifically known as Manihot esculenta Crantz, belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family. It is a resilient plant capable of withstanding drought conditions and growing in infertile soil. Cassava is extensively cultivated across over 100 countries and regions in Africa, the Americas, and Asia. It holds a significant position as one of the three primary root crops, ranking third among heat-tolerant food crops and sixth globally in terms of food production. This starchy staple is often referred to as the “starch king” and serves as a vital source of sustenance for nearly 600 million people worldwide. Moreover, cassava is prized for its robust growth, ease of cultivation, high yields, and its ability to be harvested year-round.
