Vision cassava
According to the rise of prices of agricultural products, cassava growing area of Vietnam in 2011 to nearly 560,000 ha, an increase of more than 100,000 ha compared with orientation planning. To 2012, prices fell sharply cassava cassava caused many hardships. But looking at the long term, cassava clearly still a huge attraction. It remains the most important tree crops in 4 "rice, maize, potato, cassava" ...
TREE WORK RELEASE RICH INVESTMENT WITH REINFORCING
With the vast majority of farmers from north to south, the cassava plant just more but also no less has become a billionaire thanks to cassava. One of the cassava booming thanks to mention Tam Thai commune, Phu Giao District, Binh Duong. Mr. Tam to cassava since 1995, when 94 KM launched mass production, then his mind than 1 ha planted only on their home fields and has sold over 18 million (3.5 taels of gold) .
Mr. Tam's time to become familiar with the original owners in Tay Ninh cassava oven and do not understand from the drive cassava ever become, then rented land for cassava, originally more than 100 hectares but over the years his cassava area just hatched more, he must return home to recruit hundreds of Thanh Hoa masculine to work for him.
Culminating in 2010, he rented an area of nearly 1,000 hectares stuffy to shrinkage, stretching from Gia Lai, Dak Lak past, Dak Nong and Binh Phuoc, 2011 land his rent reduced to 600 ha and 2012 only 300 ha. After 15 years of relationship, the residence of Mr Tam has become the world's second most surface area with dozens of tractors, large trucks. This year, though reduced scale, but he still did not give up and persevere wait.
Mr. Nguyen Van Khanh, Phu Giao town, well, his disciples imitate the master lease land for cassava and 2011 lease area up to 70 hectares. Seeing cassava prices spiraling up, his hometown Khanh Nam Dan, Nghe An and mobilize resources to force the hiring of a 500 hectare farm in Cambodia, but officials said he was a good Khanh divination should interfere and do not understand the financing of his fortune tellers anywhere but his hometown is going Khanh also said "without his old man is dead."
According to Mr Khanh, fresh cassava costs including rent (4.5 to 5 million / ha / year) to about 1,000 VND / kg, according to current prices, the price of fresh cassava is 1,400 VND / kg, the benefits profit will be 400,000 VND / T, if the yield of 25 tons / ha, the investors profit will be 10 million / ha.
SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT development
According to the Cultivation Department, cassava area of the country in 2011 reached 559.6 thousand hectares and production of 9.87 million tons, of which the Central Highlands area of 158.5 thousand hectares accounting for the largest, followed by the South East to 132.9 thousand hectares, an upland northern 117.2 thousand hectares, the South Central Coast - 72.1 thousand hectares and 65.3 hectares North Central ... the average yield of 29 tons / ha (area of 45.7 thousand hectares), Tay Ninh is not the country's leading local productivity and efficiency, but also is considered the most sustainable places cassava.
Tho PICs Vision 029 225x300 sanKhac tree with other local, in Tay Ninh cassava is grown primarily in the plains should minimize erosion, moreover, Xining is professional local cassava starch found development, there are many new plants later developed with modern equipment, a team of professional brokers drive up the price of cassava cassava in Tay Ninh always higher than the price a couple of other places.
With a yield of 24.1 tons / ha, Ba Ria Vung Tau is ranked second. Highlands, where the largest area of cassava but only average yield of 16.7 tons / ha. The increased area of 30,000 ha of cassava after only 3 years in the Central Highlands not happen erosion but also for deforesting agents.
Tay Ninh is also local models most successful cassava, sugar mill workers in water, Xining almost everyone is a few hectares of cassava. The difference of cassava with other places where the water use and yield up to 60-70 tons / ha, even family also reached 80 T (scale 1 ha) and become a source of income key.
Agricultural Experimental Center Hung Loc Agricultural Science Vienna South is home to the first studies on cassava and recently released from the high-yielding varieties are gaining popularity today as the KM 94, KM 98-5, 140 KM ... Thanks to new strains that cassava production in our country has increased from 8.3 tons / ha / year 2001 to 17.6 tons / ha / 2011.
This center is also the first scientist to receive orders for scientific research, in 2011, Tay Ninh Sugar Company, a leasehold interest research center offering optimal model for cassava in the region their land. Although the contract only worth $ 400 million but creates excitement for this plant enthusiasts.
FUTURE AND WHAT cassava properly?
Rice, maize, potato, cassava san is not only a long position in the plant structure of our country, but also more and more important position. Previously cassava mainly for human food, livestock feed, aquaculture, but today there are up to 70% in Asia cassava is used as raw materials for ethanol production.
In the state of oil and other fossil fuels have been exhausted, increasingly scarce human Biodiezen expectations and cassava was selected No. 1 Biodiezen can be made from rice, corn, sugar cane, but from cassava is the cheapest. In 2008, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia unison to build 30 ethanol plants should have created craze in 2010 prices (prices rose 52% cassava, cassava starch increased 73 %) but then gradually fall by the plants do not bear too high a price.
Compared with the peak time, the current price of cassava exports decreased 40% (230-240 USD / t FOB HCM City with cassava and 420-430 USD / T with tapioca starch). However, monitoring data series for many years on the international market price and trading volume are found second base stats will increase. 2000 cassava production worldwide reached 175 million tons, but by 2010 had reached 250 million tons.
Area of cassava in 2011 the country had reached nearly 560,000 hectares, an increase of more than 100,000 ha compared with orientation planning. Floor area of forest cover has led to reduced pollution and the increase cassava processing plant. However, the average yield of Vietnam reached 17.6 T / ha, only half Indian, by 90% in Thailand, 85% in Indonesia ... Therefore, cassava want sustainable development must increase productivity.
Currently, there are 100 worldwide exporter of cassava but separate top 5 countries including Thailand, Vietnam, Costa Rica, Indonesia and Paraguay have accounted for 97% of transactions. Value traded cassava world market in 2010 reached $ 2.3 billion, of which Thailand - 1.56 billion dollars, 0.56 billion USD in Vietnam.
In Vietnam, the export value of 8 months of 2012 reached $ 800 million. In 2011, Thailand exported 3 million tons of cassava chips (accounting for 48% of transactions), Vietnam - 2 million tons (32%) and Cambodia - 1 million tons (16%).
Thailand is the world's leading exporter of both cassava and tapioca starch from Thailand selling price will be a sign for all transactions of the world. Vietnam's export prices followed the Thai prices but less than about 10-15 USD / T. However, the standard purchase price of the whole world looks at China, buy 70% of the national production of cassava transaction, the purchase price of China is governed by the following factors:
- The growth rate of China's economy
- Oil prices
- The price of corn, sugar cane (substitute materials, if expensive, the cassava plants switched to other materials)
Vietnam cassava production is currently around 9.5 million tons, of which food accounted for 12%, used as animal feed accounted for 22%, the rest is mainly for export to Vietnam's cassava depends on world prices.
Thus, in the future, cassava price increases but the level of increase will not be sudden as in 2011, the forecast price of fresh cassava in Vietnam in about 1,500 to 2,000 VND / kg.
