Abstract: Cassava is one of the world’s staple crops and an important economic and food crop for one billion people. It holds significant value in food, feed, and industrial raw materials. However, cassava production is faced with the following problems: agricultural machinery and agronomy are not integrated, work efficiency is not high, it is not suitable for large-scale planting plots, and there is a lack of large-scale equipment, automation, and intelligent cassava production equipment. This study reviews research on cassava planting agronomy and mechanized production technologies and equipment, including planting, stem–tuber separation, and harvesting, both globally and in China. The shortcomings are analyzed, and recommendations are provided for current mechanized cassava production to accelerate the development of intelligent equipment and strengthen the shortcomings. Meanwhile, we used typical and extensive Chinese planting and harvesting machines as case studies. The future trends in cassava production are forecasted, underscoring the importance of advancing global mechanized technology and equipment for cassava production to enhance its efficiency, competitiveness, and modernization.
