Neco Model Questions Vol1 2019 Agricultural Science Question 36
Practice objective / multiple choice question 36 from the 2019 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Agricultural Science examination.
A farmer harvests fresh cassava roots with a moisture content of \(60\%\) (wet basis). He wants to obtain dried cassava chips that, after three months of storage in hermetic bags, still weigh at least \(200\) kg. The drying process reduces the moisture content to \(12\%\) (wet basis). During storage, the chips lose \(5\%\) of their dry‑matter weight each month due to respiration. What is the minimum weight of fresh cassava roots the farmer must harvest initially (in kilograms) to meet his target? Round up to the nearest kilogram.
