Analysis of the status of cassava starch production equipment in the world

Cassava starch is the most basic and important processing product of cassava. It is not only used in food processing industry, but also widely used in metallurgy, mining, construction, textile, cosmetics, toothpaste and paper industry. Especially in recent years, with the advent of modified starch, cassava starch is increasingly favored by consumers. At the same time, starch producers are also expanding their investment in adding cassava starch processing plant. However, investors' lack of awareness of cassava starch production equipment and equipment manufacturers' insufficient attention to technological improvement which have hindered the global promotion and application of cassava starch production equipment to some extent. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research and analysis of the status of the cassava starch production equipment in the world.

1. The status of the world cassava starch processing industry

At present, the main characteristics of cassava starch industry in the world are as follows:

(1) Scale of investment. State investment or multinational group investment is very large, and the production of fresh cassava roots per hour can be between 20 and 30 tons. Moreover, this large-scale project accounts for a large proportion of the total investment in the cassava starch project.

(2) Technology centralization. Europe represents the advanced technology of the world's cassava starch production equipment. In contrast, there are some gaps in cassava starch production equipment in China, India, Thailand and Brazil. The level of technology is a key factor affecting investors' choice of equipment. However, cost performance is also an important factor. The higher quality equipment indicates higher price. Doing Company, as a leading professional supplier of cassava starch processing equipment in China, absorbs advanced technology from home and abroad, with favorable price and high cost performance.

(3) Market regionalization. The international market for cassava starch production equipment is gradually divided into three regions: West Africa, Southeast Asia and Brazil. As world investors invest more in the African market, West African countries have become an obvious investment hotspot. Among them, Nigeria and Ghana are particularly prominent. Most of the investors investing in these two countries are from developed countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Australia. In recent years, China has also invested heavily in Africa.

2. Reasons for affecting the promotion and application of cassava starch production equipment in the world

Although the target market for tapioca starch equipment is very clear, its promotion and application have great resistance. The main factors are as follows:

(1) High investment costs. Investment costs mainly include raw material sources, equipment investment and other necessary processing costs, such as water, electricity, land and labor used. The investment in the cassava starch project is generally relatively large, which is the main reason why many investors are “deterred”.

(2) Investors lack awareness of cassava starch production equipment. Mainly due to the lack of technical knowledge, the evaluation of the project before investment is long.

(3) The sales channel of cassava starch products is not smooth, and it is also a key factor. Many investors have concerns about the sale of starch products when they choose projects.

(4) A considerable number of manufacturers pay insufficient attention to the improvement of cassava starch production equipment technology. The gap between equipment performance and processing technology and the world's advanced level is large, which has caused most investors to use the world's advanced equipment to reduce the risk of investment. This has made it even more difficult for the market development of intermediate level equipment.

(5) The manufacturers of cassava starch production equipment have insufficient research on the target market, which has made their market entry difficult.

3. Development trend of cassava starch production equipment

In the coming period, imported cassava starch production equipment will be dominated by advanced equipment from developed countries, and technological advantages will remain the main factor affecting investors' choice of equipment. Intermediate level cassava starch equipment manufacturers need to further strengthen the improvement of technology to shorten the gap with advanced equipment in developed countries. At the same time, it is necessary to increase publicity so that more consumers can recognize or understand the equipment performance and processing technology of the enterprise, and finally achieve the goal of improving the overall technical level of the cassava starch industry and promoting the development of the cassava starch industry.
