| description | Some of the actual and potential markets for cassava in tropical Latin America are discussed. Data are presented for Brazil (the world's largest cassava producer), Paraguay (the Latin American country with the highest per capita cassava production), the Andean countries, Central America, and the Caribbean. An analysis of government policies in South America as a whole in the 1980s indicates reduced subsidies to products that compete with cassava, thus enhancing the competitive ability of the crop. Expansive markets are seen for fresh conserved cassava for human consumption, dried cassava for animal feed, and high-quality CF for human consumption. In Mesoamerica, cassava has the potential to compete in animal feed markets, but, in general, lack of institutional support for the crop hinders the development of a dried cassava industry. In the Caribbean, with the exception of Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic, cassava is unlikely to have a significant role in the agricultural economy. In Cuba and the Dominican Republic, as the demand for fresh cassava is satisfied, an increasing proportion of production will move into animal feed markets. (CIAT) |

(CIAT) Se discuten algunos de los mercados actuales y potenciales para la yuca en America Latina tropical. Se presentan datos para Brasil (el mayor productor de yuca del mundo), Paraguay (el pais latinoamericano con la mayor produccion de yuca per capita), los paises andinos, America Central y el Caribe. Un analisis de las politicas gubernamentales en toda America del Sur en la decada de los 80 indica un reduccion de los subsidios para los productos que compiten con la yuca, mejorando por tanto la capacidad competitiva del cultivo. Se preven mercados en ampliacion para la yuca fresca conservada para el consumo humano, para la yuca seca como alimento animal y para las HY de alta calidad para el consumo humano. En Mesoamerica, la yuca tiene el potencial para competir en los mercados de alimentos para animales pero, en general, la falta de apoyo institucional para el cultivo limita el desarrollo de una industria de yuca seca. En el Caribe, con excepcion de Cuba, Haiti y la Republica Dominicana, es improbable que la yuca desempene una funcion significativa en la economia agricola. En Cuba y la Republica Dominicana, a medida que se satisfaga la demanda de yuca fresca, una mayor proporcion de la produccion se destinara a los mercados de alimentos para animales.
