This article focuses on the factors behind low cassava productivity and its impacts in the Kabelekese sector, Luiza territory, Kasaï-Central province in the Democratic Republic of Congo from 2021 to 2025. The main goal was to identify the key determinants of low cassava productivity and its effects on the rural community of Kabelekese.
The research adopted a mixed approach combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Data were collected from 204 respondents, including 170 farming households and 34 key actors in the cassava sector as a sample for the Kabelekese area.
The results show that the main determinants of low productivity are both internal and external, including: traditional farming practices, the use of local cuttings, lack of agricultural inputs, limited technical support, no access to agricultural credit, weak social cohesion, as well as diseases and pests.
