Background Konjac (Tetun: ma'ek Indonesian: porang) is a root vegetable with a starchy corm. The corm contains glucomannan a dietary fibre that is used as a food additive such as an emulsifier and thickener. Konjac grows wild in the TL and until 2016 it had not been harvested except for occasional use as livestock feed. It is commonly found in mountainous area in all municipalities of TL; and is harvested mainly from Aileu Baucau Ermera Liquica Manatuto and Manufahi for export. Within 3 years (2019) of its commercial harvest Konjac was the second major agricultural commodity exported from TL accounting to USD 2.83 million. Since then export volumes have declined by more than 50 percent due an export ban to China. This ban has caused local market prices to collapse from USD 2.50 per kilogram of dried konjac chips to USD 0.50 per kilogram of dried konjac chips devastating the market. After the ban from China traders focused on Thailand and Indonesian market but the market demand was low. This has de-incentivised farmers to collect and sell Konjac. However looking at the international markets Konjac is considered a super-food and its demand is increasing globally. To capitalize the market opportunity MDF TL is seeking a Konjac Market Expert to access the quality of Konjac in TL identify potential markets and facilitate its export.
