Earlier Report Observations

Cassava production in Venezuela declined to 399 thousand tonnes in 2019, primarily due to adverse climate factors like localized flooding that damaged crops. The market structure, characterized by concentration among large agribusinesses, also limited the expansion of smaller producers. However, a presidential decree issued that same year declared cassava a 'war crop', granting it special status to strengthen its supply chain and seed production, laying the groundwork for future recovery.

Supported by the 'war crop' policy, production rebounded to 415 thousand tonnes in 2020 and grew further to 450 thousand tonnes in 2021. This recovery was facilitated by the decree's framework, which aimed at improving the formal seed certification system to boost yields. Nevertheless, the sector continued to face challenges, including limited access to credit for farmers, which constrained faster growth.

Market growth stabilized from 2022, reaching 460 thousand tonnes in 2023. The introduction of mandatory front-of-pack nutritional warning labels in 2022 began to influence consumer demand for processed cassava products. In 2023, unfavorable weather and a fuel crisis drove consumer prices for cassava significantly higher, which moderated consumption growth while production volumes remained steady.
