Throughout the third and fourth quarters of 2023, the cassava starch industries struggled with the limited availability of raw materials. The spread of cassava mosaic disease and cassava witches' broom disease posed a significant threat to Southeast Asia's cassava plantations. These diseases caused the yields of cassava to decline by up to half. This strained the supply chains, and thus, the Asian countries looked forward to sustaining their domestic demand first, eventually reducing the earnings from the export routes.
Further, the collaborative measures taken by the South American countries provided only a momentary relief to the cassava starch market. The market also bore the ill consequences of a steep decline in the cost of production and feedstock materials, which was well translated into the downfall of the cassava starch price trajectory.
