Thailand's Commerce Ministry is repositioning cassava from a basic agricultural commodity into high-value products by leveraging health (Non-GMO, Gluten-Free) and sustainability credentials (low carbon, Net Zero alignment). The Thai Tapioca Nexus 2026 event connects 300+ Thai producers with buyers from 10 major markets (China, Japan, South Korea, India, etc.), targeting ~45 million baht in initial business negotiations that could scale to 150+ million baht. Domestic producers aim to double average yields from 2.8 to 5 tons/acre within 4 years to secure supply chains and reduce dependence on Vietnamese raw materials.
