Nigeria leads global cassava demand with a substantial share, followed by China and Ghana. The overall demand trend shows a decline for major consumers like Nigeria and China, while Ghana and several smaller markets such as the Ivory Coast and the Philippines are expanding. Notably, Indonesia, Brazil, and others have faced notable reductions in demand over the last year. Smaller markets such as Laos, Venezuela, and several European nations exhibited growth, though limited in absolute terms.
Future trends indicate a potential rebalancing, with emerging African markets likely to capture increased shares given their rising demands and more stable political climates, despite global supply chain challenges and competition from alternative starches.
