Earlier Report Observations

The cassava market in India expanded from 4 948 thousand tons in 2018 to a peak of 6 937 thousand tons in 2021, before declining to 5 933 thousand tons in 2023. The adoption of high-yielding cassava varieties in states like Tamil Nadu, with traits such as pest resistance and drought tolerance, contributed to increased production during the growth phase.

Throughout the period, the broader frozen foods market saw infrastructure improvements and rising consumer demand for convenience, while health-conscious trends boosted interest in fresh produce like cassava. These factors provided a supportive backdrop for cassava's role in the food industry, even as market volumes fluctuated.
