Conteúdo: 	Asia produces more than 35% of the world's cassava production (49.7 million tonnrs), with Thailand and Indonesia accounting for close to 68%of this figure. Cassava has developed into an prominent export crop, with one third of production being exported and half remaining for human consumption. The scale of germplasm collections held in Asia varies widely from three accessions held in Pakistan to 1507 in India. Nome of the Asian countries hold accessions of wild Manihot species, with the exception of India, holding seven and Sri Lanka, holding one. Germplasm collections are located in various research institutes and universities and often managed by the cassava breeders in the respective countries. All are maintained as living collections with the exception of India which has initiated an active in Nitro genebank. Other in vitro work has been undertaken within Asia, but mainly for the purpose of multiplication or germplasm exchange. Characterization for both morphological and agronomic traits of economic importance has been initiated in each country, but is limited by the quality of passport data.
