As global demand for natural, gluten-free, and environmentally friendly materials continues to rise, cassava starch is becoming one of Vietnam’s high-value agricultural export products. In particular, exporting cassava starch to the Middle East is emerging as a strategic direction, opening up significant opportunities for Vietnamese businesses to expand their markets and achieve sustainable growth.
1. High Import Demand, Low Domestic Competition:
The Middle East features a harsh climate that limits the potential for large-scale agricultural production. As a result, countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Jordan, and Kuwait have a strong dependence on imported raw materials for the food and industrial sectors—making cassava starch a highly valued option.
2. Aligns With Natural, Gluten-Free Consumption Trends:
Consumers in the Middle East are increasingly shifting toward natural, transparent, and health-conscious products. Vietnamese cassava starch, being gluten-free, easy to digest, competitively priced, and consistently high in quality, is well-suited to meet this demand.

- Export-standard quality: Vietnamese cassava starch can meet international certifications such as HACCP, ISO, and Halal – all essential for Middle Eastern markets.
- Extensive export experience, including to demanding markets like Japan, South Korea, and the European Union.
To successfully export cassava starch to the Middle Eastern market, Vietnamese businesses should pay attention to the following:
- Halal certification: Mandatory for food products entering Islamic countries.
- Compliant packaging and labeling: Labels must be bilingual (English – Arabic), clearly stating ingredients, origin, expiration date, and storage instructions.
- Clear traceability: A critical factor in ensuring product quality control.
- Consistent quality assurance: Including proper moisture levels, whiteness, purity, and absence of impurities.
To tap into this high-potential market effectively, businesses should:
- Build internationally standardized factories with closed production systems and food safety certifications.
- Participate in food and agricultural trade fairs in cities like Dubai, Riyadh, and Doha to find partners and expand their market share.
- Develop strong branding and invest in professional packaging, increasing product visibility and credibility among Middle Eastern consumers.
- Leverage trade incentives from free trade agreements (FTAs) to reduce export costs and accelerate market access.
