Earlier Report Observations

The Colombian cassava market began the period at a high volume of 1.08 million tons in 2018, supported by growing demand from the food industry and technological improvements in processing. After a modest contraction to 1.03 million tons by 2020, market activity was influenced by government initiatives to commercialize dried cassava, including plans to purchase cassava chips for animal feed.

Production dipped to 984 thousand tons in 2021, a year when processors introduced value-added products such as frozen and precooked cassava to tackle perishability. The market recovered to 1.06 million tons by 2023, driven by rising demand for cassava in balanced feed production and an oversupply caused by the entry of occasional producers and inexperienced investors, which saturated the market and pressured prices.
