In addition to the two key markets, exports to Taiwan (China), Japan, Malaysia, and the Philippines also increased positively, indicating a trend toward market diversification into Northeast Asia and ASEAN.
Experts assess that in the coming time, Vietnam’s cassava export will be favorable. Demand from China is expected to remain high because of domestic supply shortages and the need for raw materials to produce ethanol and animal feed.
However, export activities also face some difficulties, such as increasing competition from Thailand, price fluctuations of alternative raw materials like corn and wheat in the international market, and China’s adjustments to its import and quarantine policies. Increased production costs and weather risks affecting domestic cassava raw material sources could also put pressure on the supply.
