IMARC Group’s latest report “Cassava Processing Market – Industry Trends, Manufacturing Process, Plant Setup, Machinery, Raw Materials, Cost and Revenue”, provides an in-depth view of the global cassava processing market. Cassava is a tropical crop which is easy to grow and harvest even during adverse conditions. It serves as a staple food for a major portion of the global population living in the tropical and sub-tropical regions. As a result of its high perishability, cassava is processed into a number of products such as flour, starch, chips, fillets, etc. Processing enhances the value of the product by reducing its weight, lessening post-harvest losses, removing naturally occurring toxins and extending its shelf life. According to the report, the global production of cassava reached a volume of nearly 280 Million Tons in 2015, growing at a CAGR of 2.5% during 2008-2015.
