Tapioca is also known as Cassava, or Manioc.
Thailand in Asia, Brazil in South America and Nigeria in Africa are the world’s largest producers of cassava.
Currently, Thailand accounts for more than 60 percent of worldwide exports.
The tapioca industry of Thailand plays an important role in the agricultural economy in Thailand.
The Tapioca root has the ability to grow in dry weather and low-nutrient soils where other crops do not grow well.
Tapioca roots can be stored in the ground for up to 24 months, and some species for up to 36 months,
thus harvest may be extended until market conditions are favourable.
