What HS 0714.50 covers
This HS code covers yautia (Xanthosoma spp.) and similar vegetable roots and tubers with high starch or inulin content, whether fresh, chilled, frozen, or dried. These tropical staples are crucial for food security and culinary diversity in many regions. Importers typically include countries with large diaspora populations from the Caribbean, Latin America, and parts of Africa, as well as food manufacturers seeking alternative starches. Exporters are predominantly tropical nations where these crops thrive. Key things to know include the various forms (whole, sliced, pellets) and preservation methods, which impact shelf life and end-use. Trade often involves specialized logistics for fresh produce to maintain quality, while dried forms offer greater stability for bulk trade and industrial applications. The market for these tubers is growing due to increasing interest in diverse diets and ethnic cuisines.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
