The name Tapioca is the common name for any of several related plants native to tropical regions in the Americas, Africa and Asia. Tapioca Starch is the name used in Thailand and Vietnam, Cassava Starch is the West Indian name; Manioc Starch (or Mandioc) is the Brazilian name; and Yucca Starch (or Juca) is used in other parts of South America. Throughout the text below, both tapioca starch and cassava starch are used as these terms can be used interchangeably. The tapioca plant grows in a bushy form, up to 2.4 meters (8 ft) tall, with greenish-yellow flowers and the roots are up to 8 cm (3 in) thick and 91 cm (36 in) long. The tapioca roots contain from 20% - 32% starch in plants as young as 6 months to 1.5 years old. CAPLINQ is proud to announce its native tapioca starch partnership with ANK Gabon. Native Cassava Tapioca Starch RootThis partnership allows Native Tapioca Starch, produced in cassava starch fields of Gabon, Africa to be distributed worldwide by ocean freight from the port in Libreville, Gabon Africa. Historically, tapioca starch has been sourced from countries such as Vietnam and Thailand and shipped by sea to the country where it will be used. Though this makes sense for countries in South-East Asia, this simply adds costs and transit time to an otherwise low-priced commodity. Africa, and specifically Gabon has a climate that is ideally suited for growing and producing tapioca starch, where the cassava starch roots grow very quickly with little irrigation. Large volume tapioca starch production however was nearly impossible however until recently as Gabon lacked the infrastructure, machinery and know-how to meet the specifications the industry both requires and expects. Since 2008, in cooperation and with the help of the Gabon President and government, ANK Gabon has steadily been building an ultra-modern tapioca starch production factory to produce food-grade quality native tapioca starch and has plans to move into starch-derivative products within a few years.
CAPLINQ lists all its prices without taxes, shipping payment charges or discounts. CAPLINQ has entities in Canada and the Netherlands, and if your shipping address is one of these two countries, applicable taxes will be applied. If your shipping address is to the United States, we request your company’s Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Tax Identification Number (TIN). This is a unique 9-digit number assigned by the IRS and is required for all cross-border shipments. Failure to provide this number could result in delays to your order. If your shipping address is within the EU, but outside the Netherlands, then we are required to request your company's Value Added Tax (VAT, BTW, MwSt) number to be able to ship the goods tax-free. For all other countries, no taxes are levied on your orders. Native Tapioca starch, even food-grade tapioca starch is a world commodity and CAPLINQ knows that it must compete against a global market of producers. Despite this, we believe that our tapioca starch prices, produced in Gabon, Africa are very competitive and when you include sea freight charges to South Africa, Europe, and South America - our prices are even more competitive. Volume-Based Native Tapioca Starch Prices | Cassava StarchThough CAPLINQ typically publishes its price-list publicly, the commodity business of tapioca starch changes so rapidly that prices change every week. Instead, CAPLINQ refers its customers to the Thai Tapioca Starch Association (TTSA) website where prices of Thai-supplied starch are supplied, and CAPLINQ's sales price have always been below these prices.
