| description | Cassava was probably introduced into China from South America around 1820. The main production area is in the southern province of Guandong and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. With the catastrophic famines in the 60s, efforts to spread cassava cultivation northward intensified considerably. Due to lack of reliable national data, production series for these 2 regions are synthesized for the period 1950-84. Data are also provided on yields, production systems, production costs, and labor utilization. The country has a long history of research and development, the 1st book on cassava planting methods being published in 1900. There are a no. of institutes involved in research and development; the 2 most important are the South China Tropical Crops Research Academy, which has concentrated on selecting and disseminating improved var., and the Zhejiang Province Subtropical Crops Institute in Pingyang, which has introduced var. in the north. Current utilization may run 60-65 percent for feed, 15-20 percent for starch, 2-4 percent for tapioca production, and 10-20 percent for direct human consumption. Markets and demand are analyzed.

(CIAT) Probablemente, la yuca se introdujo a China desde America del Sur alrededor de 1820. La principal area de produccion esta en la provincia surena de Guandong y la Region Autonoma Guangxi Zhuang. Con las catastroficas hambrunas de la decada de los 60, se intensificaron considerablemente los esfuerzos por extender el cultivo de la yuca hacia el norte. Debido a la falta de datos confiables a nivel nacional, se sintetizan las series de produccion para estas 2 regiones para el periodo 1950-84. Tambien se suministran datos sobre rendimientos, sistemas de produccion, costos de produccion y utilizacion de mano de obra. El pais tiene una larga historia de investigacion y desarrollo como lo demuestra la publicacion del primer libro sobre metodos de siembra de yuca en 1900. Existen varios institutos involucrados en investigacion y desarrollo; los 2 mas importantes son la Academia de Investigacion en Cultivos Tropicales del Sur de China, la cual se ha concentrado en la seleccion y diseminacion de var. mejoradas, y el Instituto de Cultivos Subtropicales de la Provincia de Zhejiang en Pingyang, el cual ha introducido var. en el norte. Actualmente se utiliza alrededor del 60-65 por ciento de la yuca en alimentos para animales, 15-20 por ciento en la fabricacion de almidon, 2-4 por ciento en la produccion de tapioca y el 10-20 por ciento para consumo humano directo. Se analizan los mercados y la demanda.
