SUMMARY
Cassava is native to the humid tropics of north-eastern Brazil and the low-lying western and southern sections of Mexico. It is conjectured that the modern form of the plant may be the result of accidental or intentional crossbreeding between the ancestral wild species that are gathered by the Indians, since this form does not grow wild at the present time (Andrey H. Ensminger, 1993). Flour made from the tubers wastraded through the tropical South America. Perhaps, it was the commercial value of the crop that led to the cultivation of cassava in Peru about 4,000 years ago and in Mexico about 2000.
