Root and tuber crops are currently the second most important food crop category in Indonesia . The main root and tuber crops produced in Indonesia are potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava, yams, and cocoyams. They are important food crops that have gained increased importance due to their role in food security, their ability to withstand drought as well as their potential for commercial processing. Plants producing starchy roots, tubers, rhizomes, corms, and stems provide nutrition and health. They are also an important source of animal feed and processed products for human consumption and industrial use.
