"Cassava the New Source for Starch Sweeteners"

 

"Developments in Clean Labelling, Modified Potato Starch & Extraction of Soluble Fibre from Starch Feedstocks"

 

Myanmar is a remarkable country with high potential for agronomy and food cultivation. Soils are suitable for cassava cultivation and with the right encouragement of investments there is no shortage of land for expansion of cassava cultivation

 

As high-quality cassava starch becomes increasingly available, its utilization as a replacement for sugar will offer local producers in SouthEast Asia an opportunity for economic advancement and improved standards of living.

 

Cassava remains the only carbohydrate crop that is in surplus in the whole region. With Chinese corn prices very high, cassava is an interesting crop that will takeover corn as the new source for starch sweeteners.
