Abstract
Cassava is a major source of carbohydrate for populations in the tropics;however, there is little information about the preferences of consumers toward thequality characteristics of this crop. This paper analyzes the demand for differentcassava attributes, and applies the hedonic price method to estimate the values thatconsumers give to implicit attributes of cassava. The results show that ease of peeling,time of cooking and texture of cassava are the most important characteristics consumersconsider when purchasing and consuming cassava. Cassava varieties, root size, ease ofpeeling and location of the market are relevant attributes in price determination.
