Tapioca " hot sauce "
Cassava starch is increasing by the hour . Landscape customers unsettled manufacturers to be buying taking place throughout the factory . Fresh cassava prices rose to over 1.2 million / tonne and starch were climbing over VND 7,000 / kg with no goods to buy .
A leader of the processing plant cassava in Van Yen - Yen Bai said , from now the price has skyrocketed . Mobile 's leaders regularly rang customer in the place by phone order too much . However, due to the limited capacity of the plant plus the materials are dry at the moment so can not get enough starch to serve the needs of this market .
Erratic fluctuations
Anh Nguyen Manh Hai - a specialist business items starch in Hanoi said , had to run around all over the South originality , both in the North and then to Laos to find sources but also had insufficient. Mr. Hai said the situation is very tense as well as he , no less DN has received deposits of buyers so far not delivered the goods can be fined .
The majority of companies still rely on the Chinese market and is the main risks incurred by the erratic markets.
In some areas such as the Yen Bai material , or some central provinces , fresh cassava price also soared . About 1 month ago , the price of fresh cassava approximately 800 thousand VND / ton , the current has risen above 1 million / ton . There are many places worth nearly 1.2-1.3 million / tons of cassava that is becoming very effective for hill lands , steep , difficult terrain for the cultivation of other crops .
The reason suddenly Tapioca " Sich mud fever " is due to the Chinese market and strong sales of starch products VN . 2nd cause a number of manufacturers is due this year should return the harvest is delayed one month . Some places like Van Yen - Yen Bai has 3 months it did not rain so dry land , it is difficult to harvest . If it rains , the soft earth , a day to remember the 3-4 kg of cassava , the spit is now only 2 kg . Not to mention the hard dry soil , root fractures to spit anywhere using hoes to dig it , so very slow harvest also causes lack of fresh cassava .
Although cassava is crowned , manufacturers and cassava starch are beneficial but erratic fluctuations of this item is very difficult to predict . In late 2008 - early 2009 , thousands of tons of starch piled in Lang Son border gate congestion due to exports to the Chinese market . 2008 crop , cassava market also witnessed a somber atmosphere when the price of fresh cassava is only about 400-450 VND / kg but remained unsold . Some of the materials to thousands of hectares of cassava farmers harvest but still leave the hill because there is not enough money selling the care and handling .
Can not just rely on the Chinese market
Currently, the nation has formed many areas ranging from raw cassava north ( Yen Bai , Phu Tho ) to Central ( Nghe An , Binh Dinh ) and extends to many central provinces - Central Highlands . Some companies have invested over into Laos to expand the raw material for the starch processing industry . However, these companies as Joint Stock Company of Quang Ngai Agriculture and Food ( APFCO ) found starch export market to Europe is very rare . The majority of companies still rely on the Chinese market and is the main risks incurred by the erratic markets. According to customs statistics of Chi Ma gate , every day there are about 300-500 tonnes of cassava starch is exported to China and 90 % of cassava starch VN be exported to China .
Currently, there are over 500,000 ha of cassava with over 8 million tonnes of output . Nationwide there are 60 processing plants starch industrial scale with a total processing capacity of more than half a million tons per year of cassava starch . Up until the end of 11/ 2009, there were about 3 million tons of cassava starch has been exported for a total value of approximately $ 500 million. In 2009, while exporting a variety of goods and slow decline in value, the throne starch exports increased at more than 4 times in volume and turnover increased by 3 times . The main export market is China, accounting for over 90% of turnover . Followed by South Korea 5.5 % , Taiwan 2 % , Europe ( 1.7 % ) and a very small part of Japan started to be ...
China currently imports about 6 million tonnes of cassava per year and is the third largest ethanol producer in the world , after the U.S. and Brazil . Many Chinese localities have mandated the use of ethanol - blended gasoline in cars . In particular , Guangxi , where 70% of cassava production in China with 7 million tons / year . Therefore, China 's market for cassava and cassava starch strongly .
Although cassava is now on the throne , starch prices are " mud fever Sich " but this is quite erratic items if only focusing on the Chinese market .
