Research and Markets: Cassava in Se and S Asia and Central America Will Become More Dominant Starch Commodity as More Production Technology is Deployed - Global Modified Starch Products Usage - Analysis and Review 2006.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c30717) has announced the addition of Global Modified Starch Products Usage - Analysis and Review 2006 to their offering.

The total utilization of starch in the world today is 48.5 million tons (USDA, EU Commission). This may approach 70.00 million tons by 2010- an annualized growth of 2-3%. But this is global average. Whereas US grow by 1-2%/year, EU at 1-2%, and Japan at 1-2%, the rest of the world grows at 3-4%. Both the US and EU will have to compete for this growth in China, India, Indonesia, and South America. There are only few starch processors left in the US and even ADM and Cargill are positioning themselves in EU. Cassava in SE and S Asia and Central America will become more dominant starch commodity as more production technology is deployed. EU is already ahead of US saying so. Cassava, we need to recognize, is 7.5 % of world starch. This figure will rise as China and SE Asia improve their production economics.

We have to view starch as a competitor raw material of Cereal grains in food formulation, sugar, molasses, dietary fiber, and ethanol production in any economic analysis. It is glucose conversion that matters now in the schemes of value addition.
