By mid-July 2024, Vietnam exported nearly 1.5 million tons of cassava, slightly less than the 1.59 million tons from the same period last year, but the export value rose by 7.6% to nearly 684 million USD. China remains the largest importer, with over 1.26 million tons worth 569 million USD, despite a 6% decrease in volume but a 9% increase in value. Korea and Taiwan (China) follow as the next largest markets. Exports to Malaysia saw a significant increase in June 2024, and cassava starch exports to China via sea also grew. Traders anticipate a resurgence in cassava exports from July 2024 onwards. In 2023, Vietnam's cassava cultivation covered about 511.5 thousand hectares, producing 10.43 million tons of fresh tubers, making Vietnam and Thailand leaders in the global cassava export market.
