High-Quality Cassava Flour (HQCF) is an attractive alternative to cassava starch that can form the starting point for a cassava-based industry. HQCF production is less capital intensive and requires lower levels of inputs for success, compared to cassava starch. HQCF can be used as an alternative to starch and other imported materials in a range of industries such as adhesives, sugar syrups and industrial alcohol.
