Abstract

The agricultural economy in Nigeria is still largely rudimentary and its wealth creation potentials have been hampered by inability of cottage level processors to add value to their produce among others. The study investigated value addition to processed cassava tubers among cottage level processors in Ogun state, Southwestern, Nigeria. Owode Local Government Area was purposively selected and interview schedule was administered on one hundred and twenty five (125) randomly selected processors. Data was analyzed using the descriptive statistics and the multiple regression analysis. The study revealed that the most important constraints faced by cassava processors are high perishability of cassava tubers, high transportation cost, and inadequate capital among others. Also, the multiple linear regression analysis revealed that cost of labour, cost on machine, and quantity of raw materials processed positively and statistically influenced value added to cassava tuber at 1% significant level. It is recommended that processor should organize themselves into cooperatives or associations that will help them mobilize funds to take advantage of improved welfare that will result from increasing their scale of operation.
