Asia Tapioca Resources Holdings Limited is an international comprehensive supplier of dried cassava. The group was founded in 1984 and has been Thailand's largest exporter of dried tapioca and China's largest supplier of dried cassava from 2003 to 2014. Bilateral cassava trade between Thailand and China accounts for two-thirds of the world, while Asian cassava resources account for more than 30% of the cassava trade between the two countries. The Group began purchasing dried cassava directly from Thailand in 2001, and began to set up purchasing points in Southeast Asia to purchase cassava, carry out warehousing, organize shipping and delivery logistics, and sell it in China under the “Yaho” brand. The Group has maintained long-term commercial relationships with more than 200 tapioca suppliers in Southeast Asia. The Group's customers in China are all well-known companies in the domestic industry, including fuel ethanol, edible alcohol and chemical products. Currently, the group operates nine warehouses and terminal facilities in Thailand and has branches in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. The Group has branches and liaison offices in five domestic cities, including Rizhao, Qingdao, Jinan, Lianyungang and Shenzhen. The dried starch content standard for tapioca supplied by the Group is over 67%, which is higher than the 65% starch standard set by the Thai Ministry of Commerce, and is very popular among customers. The Group also pioneered the “365 day open acquisition policy” to purchase dried cassava at public prices, thereby ensuring a stable supply of cassava and enabling Thai farmers to earn a stable income.
