Tapioca Pellets

          
          Tapioca pellets are produced by compressing tapioca chips, using a heat and pressurized equipment.  They are 2-3 centimetres in length, with a diameter of 1 centimetre.  The moisture content is about 14%.  They are exported as animal feed, with starch content of more than 65%.  The pellets are therefore an energy source of energy for animals.

         
          Since tapioca pellets are available all-year round, and the price is rather stable, when compared with other feedstuffs, they are very much in demand amomg importing countries.  Each year, Thailand exports about 5 million tons.

          An important advantage of tapioca pellets is that they can easily be transported, like other feed grains.
