| description | Development models are outlined to shed light on cassava's potential to generate economic growth. Since small cassava producers are to a large extent marginalized from the development process in Latin America, the CIAT cassava program has tried to define development strategies that are clearly oriented toward the poorer segments of the rural population, while contributing whenever possible to increasing urban welfare as well. This strategy is based on integrated production, processing, and marketing projects. The execution of these projects follows a series of stages: macroeconomic analysis, pilot project site selection, pilot plant implementation, and project expansion. This strategy has been successfully implemented on the north coast of Colombia, where marketing was identified as a major constraint of small cassava producers. An expansive alternative market was opened: the animal feed market. The industry was established on the basis of small-producer associations; when local fresh market price was high, these associations could sell into that market, and when prices dropped, they had the alternative of drying the cassava. Forty plants now operate on the north coast and are bringing benefits in terms of increased income, employment, and a new community spirit. (CIAT) |

(CIAT) Se esbozan algunos modelos de desarrollo para aclarar el potencial de la yuca en la generacion de crecimiento economico. Debido a la marginacion de los pequenos agricultores de yuca del proceso de desarrollo en America Latina, el programa de yuca del CIAT ha tratado de definir estrategias de desarrollo que esten claramente orientadas hacia los segmentos mas pobres de la poblacion rural, contribuyendo tanto como sea posible a aumentar el bienestar urbano. Esta estrategia se basa en los proyectos integrados de produccion, procesamiento y mercadeo. La ejecucion de los proyectos integrados sigue una serie de etapas: analisis macroeconomico, seleccion de sitios para proyectos piloto, implementacion de plantas piloto y ampliacion del proyecto. Esta estrategia se ha implementado exitosamente en la costa norte de Colombia, donde se identifico el mercadeo como una de las principales limitaciones de los pequenos productores de yuca. Se abrio un mercado alternativo amplio: el mercado de los alimentos para animales. La industria se establecio con base en las asociaciones de pequenos productores; cuando el precio de la yuca fresca en el mercado local era alto, estas asociaciones podian venderla en ese mercado, pero cuando los precios descendian, existia la alternativa de secarla. Actualmente operan 40 plantas en la costa norte, las cuales estan aportando beneficios en terminos de mayores ingresos, empleo y un nuevo espiritu comunitario.
