| description | Although the Philippines was the 1st Asian country to receive cassava from the New World via the Spanish in the 17th century, at present it is only a minor crop, grown essentially by smallholders who obtain very low yields (4-5 t/ha). There has been little government support although the crop fits well into efforts to obtain self-sufficiency. The major producing areas are the Visayas region and Mindinao. Data are provided on production trends and distribution, yields, production systems, production costs, and labor utilization. In general, production incentives are weak due to poorly developed markets for cassava, leading to extensive production systems and low yields. The principal existing alternative market is for starch production although this requires a constant supply of raw material. The composite flour market also offers a potential provided the price for cassava chips be reduced. The study concludes that the future of cassava depends on capturing a share of the growing animal feed market. (CIAT) |

(CIAT) Aunque las Filipinas fue el primer pais asiatico en recibir yuca proveniente del Nuevo Mundo a traves de los espanoles en el siglo 17, esta es actualmente solo un cultivo menor, producido esencialmente por pequenos agricultores que obtienen rendimientos muy bajos (4-5 t/ha). El gobierno ha brindado poco apoyo a pesar de que el cultivo se ajusta bien a los esfuerzos por alcanzar la autosuficiencia. Las mayores areas productoras estan en las regiones de Visayas y Mindinao. Se presentan datos sobre tendencias de produccion, distribucion, rendimientos, sistemas de produccion, costos de produccion y utilizacion de mano de obra. En general, los incentivos a la produccion son pocos debido al desarrollo deficente de los mercados de yuca, lo que conlleva a sistemas extensivos de produccion y a bajos rendimientos. La principal alternativa de mercadeo que existe es para la produccion de almidon, aunque este requiere un suministro constante de materia prima. El mercado de harinas compuestas tambien ofrece un potencial siempre y cuando se reduzca el precio de los trozos de yuca. El estudio concluye que el futuro de la yuca depende de su capacidad de captar una porcion del creciente mercado de alimentos para animales.
