| description | This analysis of global and Asian markets looks at protectionism and substitution (decline in starch trade, rise in trade of cassava feedstuffs) and the Asian regional market for cassava feedstuffs. The degree of substitution between cassava and grains has increased measurably during the postwar period. Cassava's future in world markets depends on its ability to compete with grains; so far this has depended on grain pricing policies and tariff structures of importing countries, making cassava trade more vulnerable than the international grain trade. Cassava competes on a cost, not a price basis. If growth in cassava exports is based on small farm production, initial growth would be based on small-scale processing units, which would call for developing a critical production vol. based on domestic markets, in the 1st place. Except for Thailand, production has not been able to meet the rising demand for products. Improved var. and production technology could provide the increased vol. necessary to meet the domestic demand. Then, if surpluses develop resulting in cost reductions, the country could compete in international markets. (CIAT) |

(CIAT) Este analisis de los mercados mundiales y asiaticos contempla las politicas de proteccionismo y sustitucion (reduccion en la comercializacion del almidon y aumento en la comercializacion de los concentrados a base de yuca), en particular, y el mercado regional asiatico para alimentos para animales. El nivel de sustitucion entre la yuca y los granos ha aumentado considerablemente durante el periodo de posguerra. El futuro de la yuca en los mercados mundiales depende de su habilidad para competir con los granos; hasta ahora, esto ha dependido de las politicas de precios de los granos y las estructuras de las tarifas de los paises importadores, haciendo que la comercializacion de la yuca sea mas vulnerable que la comercializacion mundial de granos. La yuca compite con base en el costo y no en el precio. Si el crecimiento en las exportaciones de yuca se basa en la produccion en fincas pequenas, el crecimiento inicial se basaria en unidades de procesamiento en pequena escala, lo que requeriria el desarrollo de un vol. critico de produccion con base en los mercados nacionales, principalmente. A excepcion de Tailandia, la produccion no ha podido satisfacer la creciente demanda de este producto. Mediante el uso de tecnologia de produccion y var. mejoradas se podria proporcionar un mayor vol., necesario para suplir la demanda nacional. Entonces, si se obtienen excedentes con la consiguiente reduccion de costos, el pais podria competir en los mercados internacionales.
