Abstract

The specific objectives are to assess the socio-economic characteristics of cassava processors, to identify the training undergone so far in cassava processing, to identify the training needs of cassava processor5¡ to ascertain the income realized/month by the processors and to identify the constraints mJ!itating against cassava processors in the study area. A random sample of 160 respondents was taken with structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the socio-economic characteristics and to identify training needs of cassava processors. The average income realized per month was 116,064. 76k and quantities p(oductjmonth were674kg. major problems militating against cassava processors were capital (83.8%), storage facdities (78.8%), and stress (98.8%). ANOVA shows a significant relationship between income generated and the training needs of cassava processor5¡ (F=ll.466,p<O.OS) and Chi-Square indicated that there was significant relationship between the number of training need and age (x2 = 19. 81 .33, P<O. OS) while there was no significant relationship between the number of training needs and education level (x2=14.99), p<0.0S). it was recommended that Cassava processors should be given
