Regarding the ongoing cassava mosaic virus epidemic, KResearch views that in 2019 the cassava mosaic virus epidemic may not damage the overall cassava output for this year because normally a small amount of cassava will enter the market in the second half of the year. The cassava price in 2H19 is likely to stay in the range of THB1.7-1.8 per kilogram, versus THB2.02 per kilogram in 1H19.

The fall is attributed mainly to a decreasing demand in China because corn stockpiles in China remain high. In 2019, China’s corn stockpiles are expected to reach 209.8 million metric tons, compared to an average volume of stockpiles in the past five years (2014-2018) of 213.5 million metric tons per year. ...
