The Theme of the Contest says "Most Popular Crops In Your Area". I be telling us about the most of #popular and most common crops found in my area.
Firstly, I start by telling us where I come from.
Am from Rivers State Nigeria, in Ikwerre local Govt.
In my area we grow so many crops but one is most and more popular in my area, it is found in every place in my area, Iadies and gentlemen I introduce you to
Cassava is a seasonal crops planted in my area, during the period of #February to #November. It is the most common crops found in my Area, both strangers and landlords cultivates cassava.
Presently now every household in my area is currently working on his/her farm, cultivating Cassava.
I will explain how cassava is been planted or been cultivated in my area, although other places meant have a different way of cultivating it.
Newly planted cassava
Cassava is planted or cultivated with it's stem, unlike other crops uses seed but in planting cassava we use stem. Growing cassava it needs constant rain fall or water.
★You site out a piece of land that should be used for the cultivation of the crops, either a garden or a farm, but I recommend a farm because it is mostly good at farm.
★For cultivation to start you need to clear up the farm or garden, making it set for cultivation to begin.
★Like I said will used stem when planting cassava, now you cut the stem into different part, the stem is then now buried on the ground, two or three parts us buried on the grand. After planting the cassava it takes #one week before it grows out from the ground
Checking my recent plants
★After some period of time you clear the unwanted weeds so that the cassava would survive.
Working on my cassava farm
#Cassava takes almost 5 to 6 months before germinating and Producing seeds that can now be used for different purposes.

★Source of food
Cassava can be eaten, many good today that are prepared in Nigeria comes from cassava products. after processing cassava it can used either for Garri or Fufu, even as a local starch.
★It shells can used as source of manure in the farm or garden.
★Means of Earning money
Cassava earns alot of Nigerians money today because is one of the most crops or food in Nigeria today. Many unemployed youth today in my area works on cassava farms today.
MARKET TODAY
Cassava is seen as one of the most selling products in Nigeria market and foreign market. either you use it for production of food or for making other things like starch e.t.c.
The price of cassava in Nigeria market is increasing on daily basis due to demands supply, many Nigerian eats it .
