Cassava & Cassava Starch Products From Vietnam: A Reliable Industrial Supply For Global Customers

1. Overview of Vietnam’s Cassava Industry

Cassava (Manihot esculenta), also known as tapioca or manioc, is one of Vietnam’s most important industrial crops, cultivated across diverse ecological zones — notably in the Central Highlands, Southeast, North Central Coast, and Northern midlands.

Thanks to its high adaptability, resilience to drought, and stable yields, cassava plays a key role in both domestic consumption and global industrial supply chains.

Vietnam is currently ranked among the Top 3 cassava starch exporters in the world, alongside Thailand and Indonesia. Cassava and its derivatives generate billions of USD in annual export revenue, serving as a critical raw material for multiple industries worldwide.
