The Vietnam Cassava Association also reported high growth with 3.34 million tons of export in the first 10 months alone, which increased 59.8 percent in amount compared to 2024. The 94 percent of shipments (3.16 million tons, $962 million) were absorbed by China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. Home production reached 10.43 million tons on 511,500 hectares, which supported 1.2 million agricultural families in midland and mountainous areas.
