As of 2023, China has maintained a dominant position in global cassava processing with 82.33 thousand metric tons, experiencing a slight increase of 0.95% from the previous year. South Korea has seen a decrease in processing activity by 1.44%, registering at 10.01 thousand metric tons. Japan remained stable at 5.06 thousand metric tons with no growth. Colombia, however, showed a significant increase of 5.75%, reaching 2.05 thousand metric tons. Peru and Mozambique had a more modest growth of 3.71% and remained stable, respectively, while the Czech Republic remained unchanged at 0.05 thousand metric tons. Over a five-year span, the growth averaged moderately across these countries.
Looking ahead, the global cassava processing landscape is expected to shift. Key trends include increasing demand from China due to its substantial domestic market and the potential for South Korean recovery if economic conditions improve. Continued growth is anticipated in Latin America, especially in Colombia and Peru, mainly driven by domestic initiatives promoting cassava processing as a staple industry.
