BOTH EXPORTS cassava roots
From past to present, including local residents and businesses, no one dared to "predict" to a certain time of fresh cassava roots are also exported.
Yet strange things that have happened, first of fresh cassava roots were exported in 2010-2011.
With a total value of exports in 2010 reached nearly 560 cassava million, Vietnam has become one of the top exporters of cassava in the region. Dry chips and starch are the two main export products, including dry chips share of approximately 60%. From past to present, including local residents and businesses, no one dared to "predict" to a certain time of fresh cassava roots are also exported. Yet strange things that have happened, first of fresh cassava roots were exported in 2010-2011.
From the beginning of the harvest season to date, fresh cassava roots are constantly being exported with great reserve. Separately in Lao Cai border gate, on average, nearly 400 tons per day cassava exports to China. According to the estimates of specialized industry, exporting cassava tubers in 2011 is capable of over 4 million tons. Total production of fresh cassava roots of the country in 2011 reached more than 9 million tons. Thus if the estimated specialized sector becomes a reality, cassava exports in 2011 accounted for almost 50%.
Continually recent years China's import market of Vietnam's largest cassava. Currently there are nearly 95% of Vietnam cassava exports to China. Cassava kinds (starch, cassava chips, cassava tubers) Chinese customers high purchase prices, particularly dry chips prices rose nearly 50% over the same period last year. Currently cassava exports to China exceeded 550 USD / ton, this is the first time cassava exports reached record levels and higher than export prices. Why China "buy get" the kind of cassava in Vietnam. That problem can be explained according to the law of supply - demand, demand for cassava in China increased, while domestic supply does not respond so they must boost imports.
Cassava is the raw material used to produce ethanol, food processing, animal feed, starch production ... According to calculations specialized industry, the demand for raw cassava tubers of Vietnam in 2011 to more than 8 million tons (while total production estimated at nearly 9 million tonnes). Chinese customers massively import cassava, with unsurpassed high purchase price. Cassava processing enterprises in the country to fall into a state of "deep loss on home soil." So raw cassava to meet the needs of domestic production is not enough, even the scarcity of easily lead to a situation of domestic enterprises have to compete against each other. Right from the beginning of the harvest was able to assert: total cassava production did not decrease, largely Chinese partner gathering, processing enterprises of domestic cassava serious lack of raw materials.Want material must be competitive, while the purchase price of Chinese cassava superior high, this "war" unequal loses bet and easy part of the local enterprise.
