Data were analysed using descriptive statistic: frequency, mean and inferential statistic as the Z-test at 0.05 level of significance. The finding showed that existing technologies were available but emerging technologies were not available for improving farmers capabilities in cassava production with pooledx̄ = 3.28 and x̄ = 1.40 respectively. Secondly, the farmers utilized existing technologies in cassava production with the pool x̄ = 2.86 and coul d not utilize emerging technologies for cassava production with the pooled x̄ = 1.60. It was recommended among others that the emerging technologies that were not available for cassava should be provided to enable the farmers to ease of the stress in the use of obsolete existing technologies and also increase cassava production and well-being of the farmers.Keywords: Improving, Cassava farmers, Technologies, Enugu State
