Import Fresh Cassava / Tapioca / Manioc — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in South Africa

Fresh Cassava, also called Tapioca or Manioc, is offered as a whole, unprocessed root harvested in South Africa. The product is grown organically, meaning no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers are applied during cultivation. It carries a non‑GM certification, confirming that the crop has not been genetically modified. The roots contain a high level of carbohydrates, providing an energy‑dense ingredient for food processing.

In the global market, fresh cassava typically retains a moisture content of 10‑12% and a starch content around 70%, figures that influence drying and processing yields. Standard whole roots measure 15‑20 cm in length and weigh approximately 1‑2 kg, dimensions that suit bulk handling and storage. The commodity is usually packed in bulk sacks or refrigerated containers to maintain freshness during transit. Industry guidelines advise keeping the product at 0‑4 °C and using the “first‑in‑first‑out” method to limit spoilage.

Wholesalers, food manufacturers and restaurant chains commonly source this cassava for flour production, tapioca pearls or as a fresh side dish. The supplier indicates flexible minimum order quantities, but exact figures should be confirmed directly with the seller. Buyers are encouraged to request copies of the organic and non‑GM certificates before finalising a contract. Trade terms such as Incoterms, payment schedule and lead time are not disclosed in the listing and must be negotiated with the supplier.
