Cassava has shaped Southeast Asia's agricultural history for centuries. It became a vital crop because of its ability to thrive in poor soils and withstand drought. In countries such as the Philippines and Indonesia, cassava served as a reliable food source during periods of scarcity before evolving into an important commodity for the food, feed, starch, and biofuel industries. Today, its resilience and versatility are giving the crop new relevance beyond food security, including meeting Asia’s growing demand for healthier and more inclusive dietary options.
