Cassava is widely grown throughout Malaysia as it can easily survive under harsh climate conditions providing good yields even during dry periods making it a staple crop among smallholder farmers here who mainly use it as animal feed or obtain income from selling their cassava produce directly to local markets or middlemen traders who process them further into starch products which are then exported internationally mostly destined towards European Union markets such as Germany and Netherlands where cassava starch finds extensive applications within various industries including pharmaceuticals, paper manufacturing etc., With annual production figures reaching 2 million tons annually since 2016 this makes up roughly 16% of the global supply coming from Southeast Asia alone.
The cassava market in Malaysia is shaped by various drivers. One of the primary drivers is the multiple uses of cassava in both food and non-food industries. Cassava is a source of carbohydrates and is used in traditional Malaysia dishes, contributing to its demand. Moreover, the market is driven by the utilization of cassava in processed foods, including snacks, starches, and flours. The versatility of cassava-derived products and their role in addressing food security concerns also play a role in driving the market.
In the cassava market, one of the key challenges is diversifying product offerings beyond traditional uses. Cassava is a staple in certain regions but expanding its applications to convenience foods or processed products requires investment in research, development, and consumer education. Addressing concerns about cyanogenic compounds and promoting safe processing methods are also important to ensure consumer safety and confidence.
The cassava market in Malaysia experienced fluctuations during the COVID-19 pandemic. While cassava products, such as tapioca, witnessed increased demand for their use in cooking and baking, supply chain disruptions and labor shortages impacted processing and distribution. The closure of eateries and food manufacturers led to decreased bulk purchases, affecting demand. The market`s recovery was closely tied to the revival of the foodservice industry and the diversification of cassava-based products to cater to changing consumer preferences.
In Malaysia cassava market, prominent players such as CassavaHarvest Farms, NutriCassava Producers, and TapiocaCraft Enterprises are noteworthy. These companies specialize in cultivating and processing cassava, a staple food and source of starch. Their dedication to cassava quality, sustainable farming practices, and industrial applications positions them as leaders in promoting cassava`s versatility.
