High landed costs of imported wheat are limiting downside for domestic prices in Pakistan despite an incoming large-scale import tender. Tight domestic supply has already pushed local wheat prices sharply higher, and the high cost of imported grain means prices are unlikely to fall significantly even as new supply arrives.
Corn basis is weakening across the Corn Belt as harvest accelerates, with the seasonal low typically occurring when roughly half the crop has been brought in. The average basis decline reaches around 11 cents per bushel at the Corn Belt level, with deeper losses of up to 19 cents per bushel in Illinois and other central/eastern states, directly reducing the effective price farmers receive for spot sales. Basis is expected to recover only after harvest passes the three-quarter completion mark, meaning near-term cash prices face continued downward pressure relative to futures.

Stay updated with the latest Cassava Starch prices, historical data, and tailored regional analysis
In Thailand, the average Cassava Starch price was USD 690/MT (FOB) in June. India recorded USD 1279/MT (CIF), while Japan stood at USD 1259/MT (CIF). Asian cassava starch markets moved upward during Q2 as seasonal root shortages reduced factory operations and tightened export availability. Vietnam was the clearest example, with starch export offers increasing during May and strengthening further into June as factories faced limited late-season cassava supplies. Some processors reduced operating rates or entered maintenance, restricting immediate availability. Thailand also experienced tighter production conditions, with only part of its starch-factory base operating by mid-June. Chinese port inventories declined during the quarter, adding support to regional replacement costs. Demand remained steady from food, textile, paper and industrial users, while Chinese purchasing continued to provide an important outlet for Southeast Asian suppliers. Vietnam's expanding ethanol-blending programme created an additional concern for starch producers because greater ethanol production could increase competition for cassava roots. At the same time, Thailand's trade discussions with Chinese buyers indicated continued commercial interest in cassava starch and related products.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, prices are likely to remain firm as seasonal feedstock tightness persists, although new-crop availability could gradually ease supply pressure.

Cassava starch market sentiment remained comparatively firm during Q1’26 due to strong regional trade flows and elevated transportation costs despite adequate feedstock availability in Southeast Asia. Thailand continued dominating global exports, with cassava shipments in 2025 surpassing 8.25 million tons, increasing by 26.53% year-on-year, while pre-orders for 2026 exceeded 2.46 million tons, reflecting sustained downstream demand from starch and feed sectors. Vietnam’s Q1’26 cassava and cassava product exports reached nearly 1.34 million tons, with China accounting for approximately 93% of total export value, highlighting the market’s continued dependence on Chinese industrial consumption. Early-quarter sentiment remained pressured by weaker starch demand and substitution toward cheaper feed grains, although stable procurement from ethanol, food additive, paper, and feed industries supported baseline consumption. Later in the quarter, the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz disruptions increased freight and marine insurance costs across Asian agricultural shipping routes, tightening cargo movement and supporting export prices. However, cautious downstream purchasing and price-sensitive buyers restricted aggressive procurement activity despite elevated logistics expenses.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, cassava starch prices are expected to remain stable to firm as strong Asian trade flows and higher export costs continue balancing moderate downstream demand conditions.
Cassava Starch refers to the beady starch derived from the tuberous roots of the cassava plant, also known as Manihot esculenta. It is processed into several forms, that is, hot soluble powder, meal, pre-cooked fine/coarse flakes, rectangular sticks, and spherical "pearls" at the commercial level. Amongst these, pearls are the most widely available shape, and its size range from nearly 1 mm to 8 mm in diameter.

The wet milling process includes softening of plant roots, grinding, as well as separation of impurities to finally produce cassava starch. This method of extraction includes cleaning and sorting of plant material as well. After washing and grating cassava, the obtained starch milk is dried to finally obtain Cassava Starch.
