Today, we had a sensory evaluation of three soon to be released cassava varieties by officials from the Ministry of Agriculture Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF), farmers & staff.

The exercise is part of mandatory inspection of candidate varieties by MAAIF. We recognize that quality traits are key drivers of variety adoption. Thus we've incorporated softness of cooked cassava in the selection criteria for these varieties. Other (historically) tested traits have been disease resistance & yield.

By participating in this sensory evaluation, MAAIF inspectors were able to appreciate the concept of quality trait + why they are super important 2 end users of boiled cassava.

MAAIF will use these results to decide on suitability for release of these varieties.
