US$800 million, making cassava one of the top agricultural export commodities. The export of dried cassava chips and of processed starch has grown from a minor industry and now constitutes one of the larger export sectors. The vast majority of cassava in Vietnam is produced by smallholder farmers, for whom it constitutes one of the more important sources of income, especially in poorer communities. Vietnam, but about three-quarters of all cassava grown is one variety, namely KM 94. Currently this variety performs well; however, there are always concerns when one variety dominates to such an extent. By contrast, there are a number of diseases that are causing concerns. The challenge is to work with farmers to identify which are the most appropriate site-specific management systems. 2015.

The project entitled “Vietnam Cassava Conservation and Sustainable Development” has been very successful, as indicated by the results of trials and demonstrations conducted in Tay Ninh, Dak Lak, Phu Yen and Dong Nai provinces, where farmers using the improved technologies and practices boosted cassava yields from 8.5 t/ha to 36 t/ha - a more than four fold increase. Howeler. 2007. The adoption of new technologies and the socioeconomic impact of the Nippon Foundation cassava project in Vietnam. While the industry is in good health, there are risks. During the past 20 years the area planted to cassava has nearly doubled, from about 278,000 ha in 1993 to 544,000 hectares in 2013, while at the same time, with the adoption of high-yield and high-starch varieties, the average yield has also doubled from 9 to about 18 t/ha. The cassava mealybug, Phenacoccus manihoti, has caused major problems in Thailand and Cambodia, although as yet has not been a major problem in Vietnam. Proc. of the Workshop on the Nippon Foundation Cassava Project in Thailand, Vietnam and China, held in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam. At the current production levels of cassava, these ethanol plants could consume as much as one-third of total production and half of current exports of chips, much of which is currently used for bio-ethanol production in China. Much of the export of cassava products, particularly dried chips, goes to China, with smaller amounts, mainly of starch, to Singapore and elsewhere. In Tay Ninh Province, which is the largest producer of cassava and has the highest average yield, there are more than 80 starch factories, both large and small. Integrated Cassava-based Cropping Systems in Asia − Working with Farmers to Enhance Adoption of More Sustainable Production Practices. Another threat to cassava production is the low sustainability of many cassava production systems in terms of management of soil fertility and prevention of soil degradation from erosion. 1995. Selection results of the new cassava varieties KM60, KM94, KM95 and SM937-26. There are several promising recently released varieties that should be good alternative
