| Sumario: | Cassava is one of the most popular food products in Brazil and is important for food security, especially in Maranhão where the producing areas stand out for their high production capacity, diversity of uses, flexibility of planting and harvesting, as wellas their socio-cultural importance. The aim is therefore to analyse the practices and challenges of cassava produced in Maranhão, in order to support dialogues and opportunities for increasing and innovating this production chain. To this end, a bibliographical review was carried out, supported by a survey of data and information, the selection of three cassava-producing municipalities in Maranhão, and the analysis and interpretation of the information and data obtained. The data reveals that: production is predominantly carried out by family farmers, with a large part destined for self-consumption; among the by-products, flour (the main one), brandy (tiquira) and Magnífica beer stand out; there is a need to modernise cultivation techniques, improve processing infrastructures and organise producers into cooperatives or associations. The conclusion is that there is a need for cooperatives and small industries, incentives and public policies aimed at developing the cassava production chain, in order to overcome the lack of capital and access to credit, technical training and precarious infrastructure. |
