Overview

Global Starch Outlook & Competitiveness of Cassava Feedstock in new applications

Growing world wide demand for starch products from food to industrial applications has directed global attention in the cassava starch market and Asia's potential. Major cassava producers such as Vietnam and Thailand are gaining worldwide import interests, with cassava chips seeing increasingly exciting trades.

The threat of mealybug and other pests including green mites and whiteflies on cassava becomes more serious as these countries grapple with effective solutions to manage the disease.

According to CIAT, two key issues for cassava in the next five years will be exploitation of new starches, and development and implementation of new agronomic practices.

The caused of growth in cassava starch is also driven by spike in corn prices from UK to the US due to severe shortage and has caused starch and glucose processing margins to come under pressure.

Plant-based feedstocks is increasing finding applications in biochemicals and polymers. Roquette and Rhodia Acetow recently signed a joint agreement to speed up the development of new range of starch derivatives, to accelerate the launch of new polymers based on renewable materials, for which the demand is drastically increasing.
