Earlier Report Observations

The cassava starch market in Guyana showed significant shifts between 2018 and 2023. Production dropped by 30% to 3 500 tonnes in 2019, even as the government supported farmers in Region 9 with a new cassava harvesting machine to improve efficiency. A recovery began in 2020, with output reaching 4 000 tonnes.

From 2021, production entered a steady growth phase, climbing to 5 203 tonnes that year and continuing to 5 821 tonnes by 2023. The launch of innovative cassava-based foods, such as cassava pizza promoted at national agri-tourism events in 2022, helped diversify demand and strengthen the market. While flooding in Region 9 caused local crop losses in 2021, the overall expansion remained robust.
