Price, credit, and government spending policies and their impact on agriculture in Venezuela are analyzed. The status of demand for fresh cassava is reviewed as well as the potential demand for both fresh and dried cassava. Cassava has much to offer as the cheapest source of energy in the tropics...
Se analizan las politicas de precios, credito y desembolsos gubernamentales y su impacto en la agricultura venezolana. Se revisan el nivel de demanda de yuca fresca y la demanda potencial de yuca fresca y seca. Siendo la fuente energetica mas economica del tropico, la yuca ofrece muchas posibilid...
In Thailand cassava is produced mainly for export. The Thai cassava industry was based on starch export until the 60s when West Germany began to use CSW for animal feed. As this was a by-product of starch manufacturing, shortages resulted, leading to the market for CM. Chips became the dominant e...
En Tailandia la yuca se produce principalmente para exportacion. La industria yuquera tailandesa se baso en la exportacion de almidon hasta la decada de los 60 cuando Alemania Occidental comenzo a utilizar los residuos de almidon de yuca en alimentos para animales. Debido a que este era un subpro...
This analysis of global and Asian markets looks at protectionism and substitution (decline in starch trade, rise in trade of cassava feedstuffs) and the Asian regional market for cassava feedstuffs. The degree of substitution between cassava and grains has increased measurably during the postwar ...
Este analisis de los mercados mundiales y asiaticos contempla las politicas de proteccionismo y sustitucion (reduccion en la comercializacion del almidon y aumento en la comercializacion de los concentrados a base de yuca), en particular, y el mercado regional asiatico para alimentos para animale...
The structure and methodology of cassava research are discussed. Research on the potential world demand for the crop was divided into different components: the country was the unit of analysis and the market, the 2nd level of analytical subdivision where individual markets were assumed to be inde...
