Summary: Se presentan los antecedentes de un plan nacional para mejorar la produccion de cultivos de raices, incluyendo yuca, en Nigeria. Los factores que limitan la produccion de cultivos de raices son de naturaleza tecnica, infraestructural, social y ambiental. Se indican brevemente las funciones que desempenan las agencias nacionales (gobierno federal, Agencia Nacional de Semillas, Centro Nacional de Yuca y ministerios estatales de agricultura) para alcanzar una mayor productividad de cultivos de raices. Se presenta el programa a corto plazo (1986-87) para la obtencion de mayor produccion de yuca; este programa enfatiza la siembra de var. precoces de altos rendimientos y el aumento del area sembrada. Se indican los beneficios esperados de este enfoque. (CIAT)Summary: Background information is given on the national plan to improve root crop production, including cassava, in Nigeria. Root crop production constraints can be technical, infrastructural, social, or environmental in nature. The roles that national agencies (federal government, National Seed Service, National Cassava Centre, and state ministries of agriculture) play to achieve increased root crop productivity are briefly outlined. The short- term (1986-87) program for enhanced cassava production is presented; it emphasizes the planting of high yielding, early maturing var. and the increment in planted area. The benefits expected from this approach are indicated. (CIAT)
