Just want to make things clear here….aside from the difference in starch between the two sources, sago starch has more uses than cassava. Regarding its harvesting period, sago palm is more advantageous regardless of its early harvesting period but its cultivars… i mean, you wont spend more time replanting coz it propagates by sucker, it will strives to muddy/swampy areas, and its not susceptible to insect pest and diseases…… that’s all.. if you have some queries.. please don’t hesitate to ask.

@anna, according to wikipedia, Cycas revoluta (Sago Cycad) is also known by the common name of King Sago Palm, or just Sago Palm

You have the wrong photo of sago plant. What you have is a cycad, not the sago palm.

I agree with Tara. From the way sago production is explained here, it cant be that cheap…. only if it were substituted with cassava starch ( which can be easily produced in just 8 months from date of plating)

i think the tapioca pearls that we eat are made of cassava not from sago tree.
