I'm in Namibia and I would like to farm with casava, how can I get casava cute for planting

[@willieteb7993]

I think you have to make plans to visit one of the West African countries, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Sierra Loan. Citizens of these countries consume a lot Cassava.

[@adelaideborden5266]

Congratulations! Any contact numbers or emails? Thanks

[@theartofancientegyptianmet1747]

Is the weed control you are using safe for human consumption? Careful you do not poison your clients while seeking to maximize profit!

Great presentation. I was of the opinion that glyphosate in Round up as a chemical is really frown upon especially in Europe. Why is it being recommended for use here in Africa?. ua-cam.com/video/AHZg--xbLoQ/v-deo.html. What I'm talking about was aired on 60Minute Australia.
