For decades, the global starch market has been dominated by a few key players. However, as supply chain resilience becomes the top priority for 2026, smart procurement managers are diversifying their origins.
Why Indonesia?
Indonesia is one of the world's largest producers of cassava. Yet, for a long time, it was an "unsung hero," with much of its produce exported as raw chips. Today, the landscape has changed. With modernized processing technology, Indonesian manufacturers like Nusa Terra Foods are producing food-grade starch and MOCAF that rival top international standards.
The Cost Efficiency Factor
With the rising costs of Corn Starch and the volatility of Sago prices, Cassava-based ingredients offer a stable and cost-efficient alternative.
- For Paper & Textile Industries: Indonesian Tapioca offers excellent bonding strength at a competitive price point.
- For Food Processors: Direct sourcing from Indonesia eliminates unnecessary middlemen, ensuring you get factory-gate pricing.
