Conteúdo: 	The importance of cassava as a crop is emphasized. It is a major carbohydrate food for five million people and in tropical Africa is the single most important source of calories in the diet. Total world production has more than double since 1960, to an estimated 150 million tonnes in 1990. Cassava possesses a number of attributes causing increase in production, other than it being one of the most efficient carbohydrate-producing crops. These attributes are discussed with regard to the present status and prospects for cassava during the decade of the 1990s and describes the socio-economic, political and institutional environment within which cassava research and development activities will be carried out.
