ABSTRACT
Many edible root crops are found in various parts of India. Those most widely cultivated are potato, cassava, sweet potato, yams, and aroids. Others are also cultivated, but on a much smaller scale.
Recent efforts toward increased production have necessitated improvements in post-harvest technology. Methods available in India for the processing and utilization of cassava, sweet potato, aroids, yams, and arrowroot are discussed.
Improved processing techniques will make expanded cultivation of these crops economically viable.
