This article provides a brief introduction to what cassava starch is and its production process.

Cassava starch is gaining traction as a sustainable, versatile, and cost-effective raw material.

In 2026, China's cassava starch market is generally characterized by "tight raw material supply and high prices in the first half of the year, coupled with a severe inverted price differential between domestic and international markets, leading to sharp port destocking by mid-year."

From January to April 2026, China's cassava starch imports mainly came from Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and other countries. Specifically, imports from Vietnam were 955,300 tons, accounting for 51.58% of the total; from Thailand, 536,400 tons (28.96%); from Laos, 326,000 tons (17.60%); from Cambodia, 31,800 tons (1.72%); and from Indonesia, 1,400 tons (0.07%).

The tapioca starch market remains stable with a slight upward trend. Thai mainstream prices are quoted at 4,400-4,850 yuan/ton, Vietnamese at 4,100-4,300 yuan/ton, and Chinese at 4,000-4,200 yuan/ton. Port inventories continue to decline, and import costs support prices, which are expected to remain firm in the short term. Related corn starch prices are also bullish due to rebounding raw material costs and strong supply-demand performance.
