Facts Africa is back and our first fact of the year takes us to Africa's most populous country. Nigeria is the world's largest producer of cassava. The country produced 62.7 million tonnes of cassava in 2023. Additional fact: Three (3) of the top five leading producers of cassava in the world are in Africa, DR Congo 2nd and Ghana 4th. Looks like Africa's soil supports cassava cultivation. In 2026, our goal is transformative development, as such, we hope governments and private investors across the continent and in the diaspora will consider investing in processing the commodity into various types of processed or refined products. This will boost both the local economy and also generate extra foreign exchange from exports. Let's know if you would like to invest in cassava cultivation or processing this year or in the near future.
