Sweerglobal Cassava Farm in Nigeria is part of the company’s efforts to combat food shortages and hunger in Nigeria. The farms are located in the south-South region of Nigeria, where farmers in the region have been cassava growers for over 5 centuries. Cassava has its origin in South America and was first introduced to Nigeria in the sixteenth century. Cassava is a perennial woody shrub with an edible root and grows in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. The household crop is a source of nutrition for over 300 million Africans, and it was first introduced into Africa in the Congo basin by the Portuguese around 1558. Cassava is important, not only as a food crop in Nigeria but even more so as a major source of income for rural households. Nigeria is currently the largest producer of cassava in the world with an annual production of over 34 million tons of tuberous roots. Cassava is largely consumed in many processed forms in Nigeria. SWEERGLOBAL FARMS grow cassava and process it into garri for individual and retail markets. Offtakers can order now by visiting our website.
