More so, the objectives of this study include: to a certain the extent to which manpower training and development has improved the cassava value chain. To achieve these outlined study objectives above, primary and secondary data were collected using well structured, tested and trusted close ended thought provoking survey instrument that were administered to the randomly selected research participants who are farmers drawn from the twelve wards of Jema’a Local Government.
