The Poundable Cassava Stem Variety | 50 Stem per pack (20cm Planting Length) (MOQ: 50 stems) is a cassava cultivar known specifically for its soft, easy-to-pound texture after cooking, making it ideal for traditional dishes that require pounding, such as fufu.

This variety has gained popularity among consumers and farmers alike due to its culinary qualities, along with favorable agronomic traits like good yield, moderate disease resistance, and adaptability to different climates.

It is particularly suitable for regions where cassava is a staple food and fufu is a dietary mainstay.

Here’s an in-depth look at the characteristics and advantages of the Poundable cassava variety:

High Yield Potential of  Poundable Cassava Stem Variety:

• Production Rate: The Poundable variety typically produces 20–30 tons per hectare under good growing conditions.
• Impact: This high yield potential helps increase food security and provide farmers with a consistent income source, especially in regions where cassava is a primary crop.

Early Maturity of Poundable Cassava Stem Variety:

• Maturity Period: This variety matures relatively quickly, typically within 10–12 months. The shorter growing period allows for quicker turnover and flexibility for multiple harvests or crop rotation.

Disease Resistance of Poundable Cassava Stem Variety:

• Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD): Poundable cassava has moderate resistance to CMD, a prevalent disease that can severely affect cassava yields.
• Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD): This variety also shows some tolerance to CBSD, which is important for tuber quality.

Adaptability to Drought and Varied Climates

• Climate Versatility: It performs well in various climates and soil types, allowing farmers in different regions to grow it successfully.

Strong Stem Quality for Propagation
