Cassava
The cassava is an important source of dietary carbohydrates in the tropical and subtropical areas of the world, with its roots providing food for over 500 million people. The cassava plant can be cultivated in shifting systems which enables a flexible harvest. Furthermore it is resistant to locust attacks and drought. Nigeria and other West African countries are large producers of cassava.

Alderelm provide a range of products for every stage of the Cassava crop cycle for information on ground clearance products please see Herbicides. To see our crop protection products see Insecticides, Fungicides and for application equipment please see Sprayers

Cocoa
Cocoa demand as with many crops, is far exceeding its supply. As a result of this prices have increasing by up to 50% on the previous year, as a direct result of poor crop yield. The top five producing nations account for approximately 70% of global production with 4 of the 5 located in Africa. Demand for Cocoa is set to remain high over the coming seasons, the commodities price will remain high. One of the key reasons for shortfalls in supply is the susceptibility to disease and insect pests.

Alderelm provide a range of products to treat and prevent pests and diseases that may affect your crops. Please see our Herbicides, Insecticides, Fungicides and Sprayers pages for more information.

Maize (Corn)
Maize or ‘Corn’ is the most widely produced cereal grain, total world production is in excess of 800 million tones.  Maize derived products such as Cornmeal are a staple food in many parts of the world including Africa, Asia and the Americas.

Maize is predominantly used as livestock feed, however in recent years its use in the production of Ethanol as a Biofuel has lead to increased demand and more profitable crop yields.

Alderelm's range of products help to ensure a maximum yield is achieved. From the initial stages of ground clearance our Herbicide products, through the growth stage with threats from pests and disease our Insecticides, Fungicides products, to final stage of safe storage once the crop has been harvested.

Rice
Rice is largely considered as the most important staple food for a large part of the world's population, especially throughout Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa.

Whilst rice production worldwide has been in a state of growth, supply has not kept up with demand. It is thought that on average, rice Production will have to increase by 5 million tons per year to maintain a level pegging with consumption and meet current demands. As with all crops, once the supply does not meet the demand, prices increase.

Alderelm's range of products help to ensure a maximum yield is achieved and our customers benefit financially as a result of this.
