Although in terms of area Vietnam is among the thirteen largest cassava because cassava is considered a poor farmers' crop, which is generally neglected, both in research and in the production field. Cassava breeding for high yield and high starch content and with adaptation to adverse soil and climatic conditions is the most important among the development strategies for cassava in Vietnam.
