Tubers such as yams and cassava are being marketed in various forms including as fries or chips in several international markets.
From an article by the Costa Rican Trade Promotion Office (PROCOMER):
Yam and cassava, two tubers used in Panamanian dishes, are now being marketed in different forms including as fries or chips in several foreign markets.
World production of the tuber has increased by 60 percent since the year 2000.
An agricultural model which respects the environment called "Save and Grow" which is being promoted by the FAO could sustainably increase cassava yields by 400 percent and achieve its transformation from a food for poor people to a XXI century product, said the UN organization today.
