The latest report by the Department of Agro-product Processing and Market Development (MARD) shows that in the first eleven months, cassava and cassava products exports were estimated at 3.4 million tons and 905.2 million USD, decreased by 3.93% in volume and 0.45% in value compared to the same period in 2017.
