Yautia

cpc code 01591 refers to the agricultural product known as Yautia, a starchy root vegetable that is an important staple crop in many tropical regions. Yautia is cultivated extensively in Central and South America, the Caribbean, and parts of Africa, and is a significant contributor to the agricultural economies of these regions. As a versatile and nutritious food source, yautia plays a vital role in global food security and the livelihoods of smallholder farmers.

Yautia is typically grown from vegetative propagation, with the underground stems or tubers being used as planting material. The crop is cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates, often in small-scale, family-owned farms. Harvesting typically occurs 6-9 months after planting, with the tubers being manually dug up from the soil. Post-harvest processing may involve washing, peeling, and drying the yautia before it is sold or further processed.

The primary inputs required for yautia production include fertile, well-drained soil, adequate rainfall or irrigation, and manual labor for planting, harvesting, and processing. Yautia cultivation may also require the use of basic farm equipment such as hoes, shovels, and storage containers. Depending on the scale of production, additional inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and processing equipment may be utilized.

Yautia tubers are the primary output of this industry, and they can be consumed directly as a starchy vegetable or used as an ingredient in various food products. The output of yautia may be consumed domestically or exported to other markets, with 01599 Other Vegetables and 20299 Other Prepared Vegetable Products being potential consumers of yautia.
