This study evaluated the economics of processed cassava products in Imo State, Nigeria. Multi-stage random sampling technique was used to select 106 cassava processors for this study. Information on the objectives of this study was elicited from the sampled respondents through a well structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as the mean, analyses of variance and net returns model. The socio-economic features of the farmers reveals a mean age of 54 years, 4 persons per household, 7 years educational attainment, 16 years of processing experience and a business size of N4,531. The result of the analysis of variance showed no significant differences in net returns of processed cassava products across the three agricultural zones of the State. Hence, Okigwe and Owerri zone recorded the highest net returns in garri and fufu processing respectively showing the profitability of the enterprise. However there is urgent need for the government to assist the rural cassava processors by providing direct extension services to cushion the processing inefficiencies faced by these farmers in the area.
