Abstract

In the past, roots and tubers were mainly subsistence crops With the increased tendency to urbanisation and thus more and more dependence of the African people on low-price foods, a gradual move away from subsistence crops towards cash crops has occurred To accommodate this, wide groups of the rural population have been able to enter into commercial agriculture and now not only cultivate crops to secure food for themselves
