c. Reducing Costs and Increasing Yield

Inter-cropping: Planting legumes (soybeans, peanuts) between cassava rows improves soil fertility and provides additional income.

Mechanization: Using planters and harvesters reduces labor costs.

Organic Farming Practices: Using compost and organic fertilizers, can also improve soil health and yield.

The entire line is divided into cleaning, processing and drying parts, ensuring the whiteness of cassava flour while ensuring the high-quality standard of cassava flour, beneficial for the larger profits of cassava flour processing.
