The countries such as Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, and Honduras planted cassava three to five thousand years before the plant was distributed across the Americas and elsewhere. In the *5th century, slave traders and the Portuguese brought cassava to the African continent.Cassava reached Asia around the *7th century, when the Spanish brought it from Mexico for planting in Philippines. In the *8th century, the Dutch brought cassava into Indonesia.
