description Production trends and the demand for foods are taken as a useful framework to analyze cassava potential, production, marketing, and utilization in Latin. America. It is shown that to enhance the importance of cassava, it is not only necessary to improve production technology but to also carefully identify potential markets (of which cassava fresh market, processed food and animal feed markets are analyzed), and to develop new marketing channels and processing technology for cassava. The principal issues that should be taken into account in economic research on cassava are defined in a hierarchical manner: (1) agronomic potential of the crop; (2) farming systems; (3) utilization and marketing systems; (4) aggregate demand and production potential.

America. It is shown that to enhance the importance of cassava, it is not only necessary to improve production technology but to also carefully identify potential markets (of which cassava fresh market, processed food and animal feed markets are analyzed), and to develop new marketing channels and processing technology for cassava. The principal issues that should be taken into account in economic research on cassava are defined in a hierarchical manner: (1) agronomic potential of the crop; (2) farming systems; (3) utilization and marketing systems; (4) aggregate demand and production potential. (CIAT) Se toman como marco de referencia las tendencias de produccion y demanda de alimentos, para analizar el potencial de la yuca, su produccion, mercadeo y utilizacion en America Latina. Se plantea que para incrementar la importancia del cultivo, no solo es necesario mejorar la tecnologia de produccion sino tambien identificar cuidadosamente los mercados potenciales (de los cuales se analizan el del producto fresco, el de alimento procesado y el de alimento para animales), y desarrollar nuevos canales de mercadeo y nueva tecnologia para el procesamiento de la yuca. Se definen jerarquicamente los principales aspectos que se deben tener en cuenta en la investigacion economica sobre la yuca: 1) potencial agronomico del cultivo; 2) sistemas agricolas; 3) sistemas de utilizacion y mercadeo; 4) demanda agregada y potencial de produccion.
