Cassava, a staple root crop in Guyana, has a long history dating back to the indigenous peoples who cultivated it for thousands of years. Introduced by the Arawak and Carib tribes, cassava became integral to the local diet, utilized in various forms such as cassava bread and farine. During the colonial period, its cultivation expanded, particularly among enslaved Africans and later indentured laborers, who relied on it for sustenance. Today, cassava remains an essential agricultural product in Guyana, contributing to both food security and the economy.
