At present malt for beer production in Nigeria is imported. Substitution of malt with cassava, an indigenous crop, would conserve foreign exchange and also create employment opportunities for many workers in cassava plantations. Preliminary results show a satisfactory product can be made with cassava, comparing favorably with beer manufactured from conventional malt. Among the cultivars used, Nwugo gave the best results.
