Analysis of the Current Status of World Cassava Starch Processing Equipment

Tapioca starch is the most basic and important processed product of cassava. It is widely used not only in the food processing industry, but also in the metallurgical mining, construction, textile, cosmetic, toothpaste and paper industries. Especially in recent years, with the advent of modified starch, tapioca starch is increasingly favored by consumers. At the same time, starch production companies have continued to invest in the construction of cassava starch processing plants.

However, investors' lack of awareness of cassava starch processing equipment and equipment manufacturers' insufficient attention to technological improvement and improvement have hindered their global promotion and application to some extent. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research and analysis of the current status of the world'scassava starch processing equipmentto provide consumers with a guiding opinion.

1 The status quo of the world cassava starch processing industry

At present, the main characteristics of the world cassava starch processing industry are as follows:
(1) Scale of investment. State investment or multinational group investment is large. The output of fresh cassava processed per hour is between 20 and 30 tons. Moreover, this large-scale project accounts for a large proportion of the total investment in thecassava starch project.
(2) Centralization of technology. Hovex in the Netherlands and ISI in Denmark represent the advanced technology of the world's tapioca starch equipment. The difference betweencassava starch equipmentin India, China, Thailand and Brazil is quite large.
The level of technology is a key factor affecting investors' choice of equipment.
(3) Market regionalization. The international market forcassava starch equipmentis gradually divided into three regions: West Africa, Southeast Asia and Brazil.
As world investors invest more in the African market, West African countries have become an obvious investment hotspot. Among them, it is particularly prominent in Ghana, Nigeria. In the past two years, almost all investors investing in these two countries have come from developed countries, such as the United Kingdom, France, Australia and so on.

2 Reasons for the promotion and application of tapioca starch equipment

Although the target market forcassava starch equipmentis very clear, its promotion and application have great resistance. The main factors are as follows:
(1) High investment costs. The investment cost mainly includes the investment of raw material source equipment and other necessary processing costs, for example.
For example, use steam and water for electricity and labor. The investment in the tapioca starch project is generally relatively large, which is the main reason why many investors are "obsessed".
(2) Investors lack awareness ofstarch equipment. Mainly due to the lack of technical knowledge, the evaluation time of the project before investment is longer.
(3) The sales channel ofcassava starch productsis not smooth, and it is also a key factor. Many investors have concerns about the sale ofstarch productswhen they choose projects.
(4) A considerable number of manufacturers pay insufficient attention to the improvement and improvement of tapioca starch equipment technology. The gap between equipment performance and processing technology and the world's advanced level is large, which has caused most investors to use the world's advanced equipment to reduce the risk of investment. This has made it even more difficult for the market development of intermediate level equipment.
(5) Cassavastarch processing machinery manufacturers have insufficient research on the target market, which has made their market entry difficult.

In the coming period, imported equipment will be dominated by advanced equipment in developed countries, and technological advantages will still become the main factor affecting investors' choice of equipment.
The intermediate level ofcassava processing machinery suppliersneed to further strengthen the improvement and improvement of technology to shorten the gap with advanced equipment in developed countries. At the same time, it is necessary to increase publicity efforts so that more consumers can recognize or understand the equipment performance and processing technology of the enterprise, and finally achieve the goal of improving the technical level of the overall tapioca starch industry and promoting the development of the tapioca starch industry.
