Abstract
Songkhon district in Savanakhet province has many advantages in cassava cultivation. However, the development of cassava production in the area is facing with many challenges and difficulties, thus the yield and production remain low. The research was conducted to propose solutions to enhance the development of cassava production in Songkhon district, Savanakhet. The primary data and secondary data on the current state of cassava production development in this district were collected. The research methods used in study included descriptive and comparative sttistics, Likert scale analysis, and SWOT analysis to reflect the current state of production development. The study pointed out that the development of cassava production increased 0.23% area under cultivation and 1.34% increase in productivity in the period of time 2020-2022. The disadvantages of cassava production development in the district include policies, planning, public investment, communication, and agricultural extension. The proposed solution groups for cassava production development include dissemination, completion of related policies and strengthening investment in cassava production development, enhancing agricultural extension activities, planning and promoting the construction of infrastructure and communication facilities for cassava production development,expanding the consumption market, and promoting the export of cassava products to the international market.
