As demand for food and industrial raw materials continues to surge across the Middle East, Vietnamese cassava starch is steadily strengthening its market position thanks to its consistent quality, high standards, and strong supply capacity. To meet the strict requirements of countries such as the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, businesses must select export-grade cassava starch for the Middle East—clean, pure, and fully compliant with international certifications.
The Middle East has a very large demand for imported raw materials used in food production, confectionery, biodegradable packaging, and various light industries. Vietnamese cassava starch is highly valued because of:
- Naturally white color with high purity
- Large and stable supply suitable for long-term orders
- More competitive pricing compared to many Asian suppliers
- Consistent quality, easily meeting Halal, ISO, and HACCP standards
- Geographical advantages that shorten transportation time to the UAE, Oman, and Bahrain
Thanks to these strengths, Vietnam has become one of the prominent suppliers of cassava starch to this region.
