This study was conducted to examine the environmental effects of value addition of cassava processing in Etche local government area of Rivers state. A total of 80 cassava farmers where sampled using purposive sampling technique. Simple descriptive statistics and bivariate logistic regression models were used in the assessment. Results shows that mean age and household size were 43 years and 5 persons respectively. Also mean annual income was #346,815. Majority (60%) engaged in trading as an alternative income source. The result for the logit regression model showed that only farming experience in years (0.092101), household sizes in numbers (0.018994) were statistically positive while age in years (-0.005669), annual income in naira (-8.68E-07) and quantity of cassava harvested in kg (-0.000371) were all statistically negative in responding to the environmental effects of value addition of cassava processing in the study area. It was also learnt that the major constraint encountered by the cassava farmers were unavailability of modern machines for processing and lack of technical knowhow. This study therefore recommends that cassava based farmers should be encouraged to form cooperative societies in order to pull their resources together. Also government should play an active role by establishing modern processing units that are environmentally friendly in all the rural areas of the states.
