In March 2024, Vietnam witnessed a significant surge in its cassava and cassava product exports, with a 45.1% increase in volume and a 47.6% rise in value from February 2024, despite a slight decrease in volume but a 15.6% increase in value over the first three months compared to the same period in 2023. China remains the primary market, absorbing 94.24% of these exports, with Vietnam overtaking Thailand as the top supplier of cassava starch to China in early 2024. However, the Vietnam Cassava Association highlights challenges such as inconsistent raw material supplies and a forecasted early summer in 2024 reducing demand for cassava products in the food industry. This has led to a reduction in cassava chip purchases by export enterprises, expecting over a 10% drop in consumption for 2024, prompting some businesses to consider diversifying their agricultural product range.
