Determinants of export-led cassava production intensification among
small-holder farmers were investigated. Primary data collected with
structured questionnaire from randomly selected 60 respondents, were
analysed using appropriate statistics. The result showed a slow increasing
trend in response to export opportunities. Farm size, credit availability,
cassava product domestic prices, labour and frequency of extension
contact had positive effect on cassava output while existence of efficient
marketing system has negative effect on cassava output. Inadequate
finance and high cost of labour were the problems facing cassava
production intensification. Policy instrument on cassava production
intensification should capture the significant determinants identified in the
study.
