Don’t be fooled. There's NO “six months cassava”. The new & improved varieties released by @IITA_CGIAR & partners have a maturity period of 10 – 12 months.
To access these improved #cassava varieties, contact Kayode 07066691353 or Patrick 08054536299

80% of smallholder farmers in Nigeria still use manual tools such as hoes and cutlasses because of the prohibitive cost of mechanization.
A STIHL and IITA collaboration aims to change that.
