Abstract

The efforts have been made to prevent potential future food shortages caused by climate change. Climate change is important factor endangering sustainable food production. The local resources such as cassava are not currently considered as the main staple food. In addition, its production is not significantly affected by climate. The potential for cassava developing are still very wide open in line with livestock industry, processed food, and other industries such as alcohol, sorbitol, fructose and many others. The farming and processing of cassava can be supported by research technologies such as new varieties and cultivation and processing technology for food and industry. The analysis results that in the market, Cassava demand is inelastic and its price level is inversely proportional to the demand quantity. Its cross elasticity showed that rice is the strongest substitute for cassava. Also, cassava has negative income elasticity. In the future, there is a great opportunity for bio-industrial development of this cassava commodity and the model can be an embryo for the development of an efficient sustainable agriculture-bioindustri system. Strategy of cassava commodity development must consider several important factors that are cassava farming, new Technology, capital access, continuity of cassava raw material, diversification and improvement of cassava products and education to the community.
