dc.titleParaguay: Potential demand for cassavaen_US

dcterms.abstractA brief analysis is made of colonization, price and commercialization, credit, research, and extension policies and their impact on agriculture in Paraguay. The present status of cassava consumption, production, and distribution is then reviewed to determine potential and projected demand. Time series data were used to calculate the effects of changes in income, prices, and urbanization trends on the per capita consumption of cassava. Cassava is very important in Paraguay, where it (1) generates more employment than other crops; (2) produces the most by volume; (3) is 3rd in terms of gross domestic product (after soybeans and cotton); and (4) is the most important source of carbohydrates. Together with maize, cassava constitutes the basic source of feed for pigs, which supply 43 percent of all the meat consumed in the country. The use of dried cassava in animal feed is not economically attractive because farmers get twice as much per kg selling cassava in the fresh market. There is great potential for CIAT's fresh cassava storage technology. Colonization policies have indirectly led to increased production, beyond already high levels. To meet the projected demand by the yr 2000, an additional 80,000 ha will have to be planted. (CIAT)en_US
dcterms.abstractSe hace un breve analisis de las politicas de colonizacion, precios y comercializacion, credito, investigacion y extension y su impacto en la agricultura paraguaya. Luego se revisa el estado actual del consumo, la produccion y la distribucion de yuca para determinar tanto la demanda potencial como la proyectada. Se utilizaron datos de estudios en serie a intervalos definidos para calcular los efectos de los cambios en ingresos, precios y tendencias de urbanizacion en el consumo per capita de yuca. La yuca es muy importante en Paraguay, donde 1) genera mas empleo que los demas cultivos; 2) tiene el mayor vol. de produccion; 3) se ubica en tercer lugar en cuanto a producto domestico bruto (despues de la soya y el algodon); y 4) es la fuente mas importante de hidratos de carbono. Junto con el maiz, la yuca constituye la fuente basica de alimento para cerdos, que a su vez proporcionan 43 por ciento de la carne consumida en el pais. El uso de yuca seca en alimentos para animales no es economicamente atractivo debido a que los agricultores reciben mas del doble por kg vendiendo la yuca en el mercado fresco. Existe un gran potencial para la tecnologia de almacenamiento de yuca fresca desarrollada por CIAT. Las politicas de colonizacion han aumentado indirectamente la produccion, por encima de los niveles actuales de por si altos. Para satisfacer la demanda proyectada para el ano 2000, se necesitara sembrar 80,000 ha mas. (CIAT)en_US
