In Benue State, Nigeria, cassava farmers are witnessing a remarkable increase in their crop yields due to the Building an Economically Sustainable Integrated Cassava Seed System (BASICS-II) project, spearheaded by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA). This project emphasizes the adoption of clean, disease-free, and high-yielding cassava varieties, especially the TME 419, which has shown yields exceeding 20 tonnes per hectare, a significant improvement over the typical nine tonnes. Through collaboration with the Sasakawa Africa Association (SAA), the initiative has fostered the development of Cassava Seed Entrepreneurs (CSEs) in Benue and Nasarawa states, who are not only generating income by selling cassava stems but also creating employment opportunities. These entrepreneurs are connected with early generation seed producers and breeder seed producers, facilitating the dissemination of improved cassava varieties. Additionally, the project has offered training and inputs to farmers, thereby enhancing agricultural development and improving access to quality planting materials.
