The global demand for dried cassava chips has surged in recent years, driven by China’s growing need for bio-ethanol production, food products, and animal feed. This presents a golden opportunity for African cassava producers to expand their market reach and boost economic growth. Chinese manufacturers are willing to order between 50,000 to 100,000 metric tons (MT) of dried cassava chips per month, with contracts spanning 3 to 5 years. However, despite this immense potential, African exporters face significant challenges that hinder their ability to fully capitalize on this opportunity. This article explores the key challenges African cassava producers face in exporting to China and provides actionable strategies to overcome them. By addressing these obstacles, Africa can position itself as a competitive player in the global Cassava market and unlock its vast agricultural potential.
