My association members holding our recently dug up harvest, cassava.

Kigali, Rwanda
Grace’s Association of young people collectively runs a cassava farm. It takes 18 months from planting to harvesting cassava. Cassava is a good crop as it is cheap to buy seeds but gets a high return at market.
After harvest, the cassava is soaked in water, then left in the sun to dry. When it’s dry, they pound it and sell it as flour or tapioca. They can also sell the cassava as a whole vegetable. It’s a versatile vegetable – they can even make cassava bread.
