Cassava became a staple food in many rural communities because of its tolerance of drought and poor soil conditions and because it can be cultivated in generally difficult crop environments. Traditionally, cassava production is labor-intensive and cassava is generally cultivated as a subsistence crop on a small scale by peasant farmers. Surplus production is generally marketed and sold by the informal sector throughout Africa, South America and South-East Asia. Once subsistence production becomes established, there will be economic incentives to produce surpluses. Once thought to be resistant to pests and diseases, the crop can be improved genetically to increase its resistance to severe pest infestations and serious diseases.
