The government is to set up a national
cassava policy and will soon establish a steering committee to boost the production chain, seek new markets, attract investment in cassava processing and promote the livelihood of cassava farmers.
Commerce Minister Pan Sorasak said yesterday that the Ministry of Commerce, development partners and stakeholders were considering developing a policy that aims to leverage national efforts to address priorities in the cassava sector.
He said that the national cassava policy should be seen as a guiding document on how to ensure sustainable and resilient crop production, how to upgrade and strengthen cassava value chains, and how to convert market access into market presence.
