Her deep understanding of the challenges faced by farmers in harvesting cassava inspired her to develop practical solutions to make the process easier and more efficient.
Meet the Cassava Uprooting
Traditionally, cassava harvesting involves the use of manual tools like spades, requiring farmers to exert considerable force to pull out the roots. This method is physically demanding, often damages the roots, and slows down the harvesting process. Recognizing these challenges, Mrs. Shyla Tom designed a simple, manually operated cassava uprooting device with a frame, pulley, and handle mechanism. This innovative tool reduces physical effort, preserves crop quality, and speeds up the harvesting process.

This Is Why
You Should need this
Traditional cassava harvesting is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Farmers often rely on spades and forks, which require significant physical effort and risk damaging the roots, reducing their market value. Additionally, labor shortages during peak seasons further complicate the process and increase costs.
The weight of a cassava root can vary depending on the variety and growing conditions, but typically ranges from a few kilograms to over 10 kilograms per plant, while the force needed to uproot a cassava plant can range from 30 to 120 kilograms of force, some studies report an average uprooting force around 600N to 1KN per plant.
By using this tool, farmers can safely and efficiently uproot cassava without harming the roots, ensuring higher quality produce and reducing manual effort. Ultimately, the device boosts productivity and income by streamlining the harvesting process and preserving crop integrity.
