In 2023, China's cassava import volume dominated at 24.82 million metric tons, followed by Thailand (6.3 million) and Indonesia (1.97 million). Countries like India (19.7%) and Uganda (16.89%) showed strong growth in imports, whereas South Korea (-11.06%) and Brazil (-10.59%) saw declines. Over the past five years, the global cassava import volume has demonstrated varying growth patterns across countries, with certain regions like Asia experiencing more robust growth. The year-on-year variations highlight shifts mainly due to changing demand and economic conditions in importing countries.
Future trends to watch include:
- China's continued prominence in cassava imports, possibly influencing global pricing and supply chains.
- Potential market expansion in emerging economies like India and Nigeria as they ramp up their import capacities.
- The influence of geopolitical dynamics and environmental factors on cassava production and trade flows.
