1 State of the Art in Asia and LAC
CASSAVA VALUE CHAIN State of the Art in Asia and LAC Dr. Asha KI – India MSc. Marie Callebaut – Suriname MSc. LE Thi Ngoc Quynh – Vietnam MSc. Katherine Castillo - Colombia

2 CASSAVA PRODUCTION CONSTRAINTS
ASIA LAC Low multiplication rate Diseases and pests Limited product diversification Low extension agenda Lack of appropriate mechanization Labor intensive Lack of short duration varieties CIAT & EMBRAPA CMD & Witches´ Broom FROG SKIN DISEASE

3 Conventional Cassava Breeding Conventional Cassava Breeding
CASSAVA BREEDING: CONVENTIONAL/MOLECULAR? ASIA LAC Conventional Cassava Breeding Conventional Cassava Breeding Genetic engineering Genetic engineering Overseas Partnership for Improved Cassava Varieties Overseas Partnership for knowledge sharing regarding to production, management and processing technologies

4 CASSAVA PRODUCTION ASIA LAC Subsistance staple crop
(Bitter varieties) Small scale as staple crop Large scale for industrial purposes Small scale crop (Sweet varieties)

5 Cold water miscible starch
CASSAVA MARKET ASIA LAC Biodegradable plastics Ethanol Snack foods, fried food products Modified starches Gums & Adhesives from cassava starch Maltose & maltodextrins Citric acid from starch factory residues Extruded products (improved textural attributes) Silage and poultry feed Exportation Biodegradable plastics Ethanol Snack foods, fried food products Modified starches Gums & Adhesives from cassava starch Maltose & maltodextrins Citric acid from starch factory residues Extruded products (improved textural attributes) Silage and poultry feed Cold water miscible starch

6 SUSTAINABLE CASSAVA CROPS
ASIA LAC Form the point of view of the farmers cassava cultivation should be part of a sustainable cultivation system = larger income generation and spreading of risks. For the processor: innovation of products for the local market and for export. Biodegradable plastics Ethanol Snack foods, fried food products Modified starches Gums & Adhesives from cassava starch Maltose & maltodextrins Citric acid from starch factory residues Extruded products (improved textural attributes) Silage and poultry feed

7 Cold water miscible starch
CASSAVA VALUE ADDITION OPPORTUNITIES ASIA LAC Ethanol Starch Extruded food products Biodegradable plastics Ethanol Snack foods, fried food products Modified starches Gums & Adhesives from cassava starch Maltose & maltodextrins Citric acid from starch factory residues Extruded products (improved textural attributes) Silage and poultry feed Live stock feed Exports Cold water miscible starch

8 Cold water miscible starch
POTENTIAL FOR CASSAVA POSIBILITIES Small scale production units for snacks, extruded products, ethanol, export product in the counrty can stimulate sustainable deveopement of small scale farmers CONSTRAINS Lack of availability of better varieties Lack of well planned farmer grouping Lack of proper chanelled marketing system Lack of proper financial assistance Biodegradable plastics Ethanol Snack foods, fried food products Modified starches Gums & Adhesives from cassava starch Maltose & maltodextrins Citric acid from starch factory residues Extruded products (improved textural attributes) Silage and poultry feed SOLUTIONS Better varieties and their availability Formation of farmer groups Good marketing system Better financial assistance Cold water miscible starch

9 Cold water miscible starch
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION Biodegradable plastics Ethanol Snack foods, fried food products Modified starches Gums & Adhesives from cassava starch Maltose & maltodextrins Citric acid from starch factory residues Extruded products (improved textural attributes) Silage and poultry feed Cold water miscible starch
