Nigeria's favorite struggle meal: it comes from cassava, a crop Nigeria grows 60 million tons of every year.

That's enough to produce cassava products worth billions on global markets. Instead, most of it becomes garri, fufu, or rots in the ground.

The world buys cassava starch from Thailand and Vietnam for everything from gluten-free flour to industrial adhesives.

Nigeria, sitting on mountains of cassava, barely processes any of it beyond garri.
