An average farmer does not have access to the market to sell his/her produce or has an efficient machine to turn raw materials into either semi-finished or finished products.
Another basic problem with the white gold (cassava roots) is its post-harvest physiological deterioration (PPD) whereby the uprooted cassava roots must be processed within hours of its harvesting because of its level of deterioration (not fit for industrial processing), and all these coupled with lack of finance have been a major setback for farmers

It’s quite unreasonable to see many industries using cassava as their major feedstock for food and non-food products closing in Nigeria, Africa and third world countries due to inability to have access to quality raw materials even in the presence of liquid capital.

There is always a(an) direct(indirect) effect on citizens of each nation consuming/using the product whether this type of product is affordable, accessible and available at all times.
This problem has its source from smallholder farmers cultivating 60% of food in the world.
The major problem at this point cut across food, beverage, textile, paper and pulp making, plastic, pharmaceutical and chemical industries
