Abstract

This study investigated the contributions of Cassava Multiplication. Programme (CMP) technologies on the productivity of co-operative farmers in Southern Nigeria between 1999 and 2001. The CMP came • into being in 1987 as a result of the International Fundfor Agricultural Development's intervention in the cassava sub-sector. The decline in cassava production in late 1970s and early part of the 1980's coupled with the devastating attacks by cassava green spiderrnites KG* and cassava meal bugs (CM) facilitated this intervention through a loan of 12.5 Million US Dollars. This led to the development of high yield Tropical Manihot Selections (TMS).
