The use of sound environmental and business principles in growing and processing cassava in the Small Island Developing State of Saint Lucia.

The project objectives are: (i) To adopt and implement Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) in cassava production; (ii) to design and implement an efficient harvesting and collection system to meet the processing demands of the plant; (iii) to design and retrofit a building to meet the Bureau of Standards specifications within which the processing takes place; (iv) to train at least fifteen persons to function efficiently in the areas of planning, harvesting, agro-processing and marketing; and (v) to design and implement marketing strategies by using the various advertising mediums to increase market sales.
