Processing cassava for starch. The hardy root crop cassava is among important staples for food security and income in Southeast Asia, but neglected in terms of investment for scientific research. In January, the World Congress on Root and Tuber Crops in China, Nanning, will place these crops -sweet potato, cassava, yam, taro- center-stage, gathering researchers from Asia, Africa and South America to discuss opportunities and challenges ahead for these vital crops.
