Problems and solution on production and processing of cassava – complete project material

Thesis Overview

<p>&nbsp; INTRODUCTION &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br><br><br>BACKGROUND OF<br>STUDY<br><br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; cassava<br>is a staple food crop, which is mostly grown all southern part of Nigeria<br>timothy as well as in the middle belt and mainly also originate in brazil or<br>central America, the root tuber are processed into several forms of food lie<br>garri, fufu or tapica flow.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; The<br>cassava is treated in thus project in this project reveal its levels of<br>production and processing through the tuber root. They are rich in food stuff<br>to man. The leaves are also used as vegetables in soups, while the peels are<br>feeds to live stock and also the tuber are rich source of carbohydrate they are<br>also found to contain some vitamins such as vitamin c and a well as some trace<br>of phosphorous and iron.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; The plant<br>is woody and may grow up to the height of 1m to 4m depending on the variety.<br>The main stems and the branches contain knoblike scar, which are the point of<br>leaf attachment, many people both men and women have engage themselves in<br>trading with cassava processed one way or the other.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; And there<br>are two types of cassava, differentiated by the prussic content (hydrocyanic<br>acid contained in the tuber).<br><br>i. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br>The sweet<br>cassava:- this contain low level of poisonous prussic in the flesh of the tuber<br>with high concentration in the peels<br><br>ii. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br>The bitter<br>cassava: – this contain high amount of prussic acid in the flesh of the tuber<br>with lower concentration in peels.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; But the<br>farmers are able to cultivated or process them. Today (mamhot Escalante does<br>not exist in the state spread plant important not exist in the mostly area)<br><br>STATEMENT OF<br>PROBLEMS<br><br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; This study<br>is to investigate various techniques of method of producing and processing<br>cassava in Nigeria and also considers the various stages ranging from planting<br>of stem cutting to the harvesting and finally processing of the products.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; There are<br>many problems encountered by both rural and urban farmers in relation to the<br>production processing and storage of both the products and the implements.<br><br>1. Limited stem cutting i.e. Planting material<br><br>2. Inadequate land due to land tenure systems<br><br>3. Use of crude implements like cutlass, hoe etc<br><br>4. Pest and disease<br><br>OBJECTIVES<br><br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Objectives<br>of this project are:<br><br>a. To examine the problems<br><br>b. To find out the solution to some of the problems’<br><br>c. <br>To investigate the<br>production and utilization of cassava in south part of Nigeria and also<br>identify the different forms in which cassava are processed into its various<br>finished products like processing the cassava to garri or fufu e.t.c as a food<br>for human consumption.<br><br>SIGNIFICANCE<br>OF THE PROJECT<br><br><br>1. The research study will be useful to those who are engaged directly or indirectly in the<br>production and processing of cassava in south part of Nigeria in particular and<br>the country as large<br><br>2. The study is designed to look into hoe the<br>production of the farm in southern. Cassava can enhance the well being of the<br>people in this local government area and also mankind<br><br>3. It will serve to encourage the farmers in the study<br>area who take cassava production and processing as their last hope in life.<br><br>4. The study is hoped to motivate the farmers to go<br>into fulltime cassava production in the area.<br><br>5. It is hoped that at the end of this project, the<br>work will be able to expose and brings to the best, production and processing<br>cassava in south part in Ovia Local Government Area. <br><br>SCOPE OF<br>STUDY<br><br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; the study<br>is armed at providing a detailed knowledge and understanding of the operations,<br>function and performance involved in the production and processing of cassava<br>in southern part of Nigeria with the view of providing useful suggestion to<br>ease the problems of this aspects of agricultural development in Nigeria.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; It is<br>directly geared towards the application of production and processing concept.<br><br>HYPOTHESIS<br><br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Some<br>question to be tackled in the course of study has been raised as follows?<br><br>A. Is any decline in the production and processing in<br>different area of the local government area?<br><br>B. What are the problems facing cassava production and<br>processing in the area.<br><br>C. What are the effect of cassava production in the<br>local government area<br><br>DEFINITION OF<br>TERMS<br><br><br>Production: the process of growing or making food, goods or<br>materials, especially large quantities<br><br>Processing: means the used to making the production in order<br>to serve as food for human consumption<br><br>Cassava: a type of flour made from the thick parts of<br>tropical plant.<br><br>Get Complete Project Now »<br>Talk to us right now: (+234)906-451-7926 (Call/WhatsApp)<br><br>Share a Comment<br>Purchase Detail<br>Hello, we’re glad you stopped by, you can download the complete project materials to this project with Abstract, Chapters 1 – 5, References and Appendix (Questionaire, Charts, etc) for N5000 ($15) only,<br>Please call 08111770269 or +2348059541956 to place an order or use the whatsapp button below to chat us up.<br>Bank details are stated below.<br>Bank: UBA<br>Account No: 1021412898<br>Account Name: Starnet Innovations Limited<br></p>
