For those of us who were paying attention when the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) hit Nigeria – you know, those days when calls were billed at ₦50 per minute, Sim cards cost about ₦13000, and there was no 3G network or mobile internet to begin with.

Indonesia and Brazil make up the top four, with Congo DR chipping in enough to take fifth spot. These five countries account for nearly 70% of global cassava production.
