| Summary: | This article examined the problems and challenges of managing cassava processing in Nigeria. Based on the findings of our study, agricultural policy framework, level of mechanization, infrastructure, agricultural technical experts, and access to capital are the major factors that affect cassava processing in Nigeria, while the challenges are policy inconsistency, high cost of mechanization and inadequate capital investment in infrastructure, inadequate extension agents, as well as stringent credit facility conditions. This study, therefore, concludes that for cassava to play a major role in Nigeria’s national development government must ensure that there is a full exploration of all opportunities that have the potential to yield strong advantage. This could be achieved through a holistic assessment of the cassava process that is geared toward improving the quality of life and well-being of citizens based on Nigeria’s comparative advantage in cassava production and processing.
