Sweet Potatoes: common questions
Is sweet potatoes available now?
Sweet Potatoes is part of our established range. Availability depends on season and partner capacity, so volumes and timing are confirmed in writing for each enquiry.
What information should I include in a quote request?
Variety or grade, quantity and unit, packaging, destination, preferred Incoterm and shipping window, plus any documents or tests you need.
How is fresh cassava kept fresh?
Fresh cassava deteriorates within days of harvest, so it is usually waxed, air-freighted quickly, or supplied dried or as flour instead.
Do you supply matooke all year?
Matooke is grown year-round in Uganda; volumes and quality vary with season and are confirmed per enquiry.
