The broad objective of the study was to conduct an analysis of household consumption of cassava
products in Ohaozara area of Ebonyi stata south-eastern Nigeria. Data were collected with questionnaire from 20
consumption households randomly selected from 3 out of the 30 communities in the area. The sampling frame used
for the study was obtained from the National population Commission for the area. Sixty households were sampled in
the area. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ordinary least squares multiple regression technique.
The results identified garri, pounded cassava, tapioca, cassava chips, and cassava flour as the various cassava
products consumed in the area. The results show further that about 11% of the monthly income of an average
household in the area was spent on cassava products while about 23% of their monthly income was spent by them
on substitutes. Garri was identified as the major cassava product consumed by the respondents in the area while rice
and plantain are the major substitutes consumed by them. The findings of the study show also that household size,
household income, and the cost of substitutes were the statistically significant determinants of the quantity
consumed of cassava products by the respondents in the area. The significant variables have positive coefficients,
which imply that an increase in their magnitude will lead to an increase in the quantity consumed of cassava
products in the area and vice versa. The result shows further that the sampled households have a moderate marginal
propensity to consume, which imply that they spend a moderate percentage of their monthly income on
consumption
