Anambra Governor, Willie Obiano says his Administration will increase cassava output and processing by 2018.
Obiano made this known on Tuesday during the inauguration of an ultra-modern Cassava Processing Centre and Farmers’ Business Forum at Anambra State Polytechnic in Mgbakwu.
The processing centre is a joint project executed by the institution and Harvest Plus, an organisation that improves nutrition and public health via production of bio-fortified food crops.
Obiano said that the new strategy for improved cassava production and processing would be in full operation by 2018, adding that “Anambra Garri” would soon saturate the markets.
