Low demand, poor oversight: The ‘sago’ of Salem’s tapioca pearls
The New Indian Express Madurai
|October 13, 2025
A steep decline in demand for tapioca pearls or sago has left large quantities of the product stagnating at sago mills in Salem.
Sago prices have fallen from ₹50/kg last season to ₹37/kg
(EXPRESS)
A festive staple, especially during the nine-day Navratri period, data from Sagoserve (Salem Starch and Sago Manufacturers’ Service Industrial Cooperative Society Ltd) show that sales have dropped by 21.31% as compared to last year, leaving nearly one lakh bags of sago, each weighing 90 kg, unsold.
