Cepea's surveys have reported a decrease in cassava prices due to an oversupply and reduced demand. The decline is largely due to producers trying to sell and part of the starch industry halting crushing activities. This, coupled with bearish expectations, has led to a 2.2% drop in the nominal average forward price per ton of cassava starch in the last week. Over the past month, prices have fallen by 8.5%, but when compared to the previous year, they are 13% higher in real terms.
