Low supply keeps cassava price high

Published 2025년 10월 6일

Tridge summary

Low soil moisture in most regions continues to hinder the harvesting of cassava and, consequently, the supply of the root. This is what researchers from the Center for Advanced Studies in Applied Economics (Cepea) have been monitoring.

In addition, many producers are staying away from sales due to lower profitability. In this scenario, starch and flour mills recorded, over the past week, processing below expectations, and prices of the root continued to rise.

In the starch market, there was increased movement in all regions monitored by Cepea. Buyers were more active in replenishing and maintaining stocks, increasing interest in larger lots of the derivative.

For flour, demand for the product also increased last week, but low production and short stocks limited the volumes actually traded.
