Regional Conference on Cassava in the Caribbean and Latin America

Nov 30, 2023, 18:21 PM
The countries of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) have a huge import replacement opportunity for food, flour, feed and beer (and possibly energy) that can be addressed by the development of the cassava industry which already has a production base in almost all of the countries of the region. Recent estimates suggest that the Caribbean currently imports, on an annual basis, nearly 900,000 metric tonnes (MT) of wheat for flour and 420,000 MT of corn (mainly for poultry feed).
