Cassava Value Chain Mapping, Uganda Steven Tumwesigye

Globally, use of value chain concept in commodity development has gained momentum. Resultantly, commodity value chains have been analysed in most commercial commodities. Unfortunately, the potential of cassava to steer total transformation has not been fully exploited because its value chain is not fully known. Cassava benefits along the value chain are huge but there is no visible substantial contribution to the economies of developing countries. The prevailing and monopolistic approach to marketing does not benefit smallholders who are the main actors in the value chain of cassava. The publication, therefore, shows an insight into the nature and behavior of cassava value chains in Uganda. Different segments of the cassava value chain were mapped using a rapid reconnaissance method. This publication, thus, enables better understanding of functions of the chain, flow of products, actor’s roles and value added by each actor in the chain, institutions and policies that influence cassava...
