Have you ever wondered how the sales of cassava starch in the domestic market can be several times higher than the combined sales of sweet potato starch and potato starch?
This fact is indeed surprising. Cassava, a crop widely cultivated globally, has been planted and used to produce cassava starch in over 100 countries.
Cassava starch not only has a broader range of applications, but its white and delicate texture, light odor, and high-end modified potato starch substitute advantages make it increasingly important in industries such as textiles, paper manufacturing, and pharmaceutical processing.
In addition, cassava starch also provides strong support for production cost control, making it more popular in the market.
However, more importantly, the price advantage of cassava starch is so significant. In comparison, the average price of sweet potato and potato starch is around 7,000 yuan, or even higher. Meanwhile, the average price of cassava starch is only 3,800 yuan per ton. Given this comparison, the price advantage of cassava starch is undoubtedly obvious.
Despite the many advantages of cassava starch, we still need to face a fact — over 95% of cassava starch in our country needs to be imported from Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, and other countries.
This undoubtedly reminds us that despite the many advantages of cassava starch, we still need to make efforts to develop the domestic cassava industry to better meet the needs of the domestic market.
Only through continuous effort and development can we make the domestic cassava industry better serve the domestic market, allowing more consumers to benefit from this high-quality and reasonably priced starch.
