Se examina la importancia de la yuca en la economia nacional de Nigeria a la luz de una tendencia de produccion fluctuante. Se describen 2 alternativas de utilizacion--como alimento animal (porcinos y aves) y como almidon industrial--y se analizan sus implicaciones en el suministro de raices frescas. Existe un deficit en el suministro de raices para consumo humano, mientras la competencia de los alimentos para animales y el almidon industrial impone metas de produccion mas altas. El potencial del cultivo asegura una produccion nacional adecuada ante el creciente apoyo de la investigacion para tecnologias de produccion eficientes. (RA- CIAT) spa

The importance of cassava in the domestic economy of Nigeria is examined in the light of a fluctuating production trend. Two alternative uses, as animal feed (swine and poultry) and as industrial starch, are described and their implications on fresh root supply are analyzed. A deficit in supply for human consumption exists while competition from animal feed and industrial starch imposes higher production targets. The potential of the crop assures adequate national output upon increased research support for efficient production technologies. (AS) eng
