520 # # |a The text discusses Malaysia's status as a net importer of cassava products and the challenges faced in increasing local production due to labor scarcity and high costs. It mentions suggestions by researchers to employ mechanization to boost production. Mechanized planting requires uniform setts of specific length and freshness, which manual methods struggle to provide consistently. Mechanical cassava stem cutters used in other countries are deemed too expensive and unavailable locally. Consequently, the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) developed an experimental cassava stem cutter to address these challenges. The article outlines the design and performance of this experimental cutter, aiming to facilitate high-quality setts production for mechanized planting.
