Skip to content Premium Dried Tapioca Chips from Cambodia: A Strategic Supply Solution for China
By Uon Vichetr (Vic) | Founder, Adaeng Development Co., Ltd
In the rapidly evolving landscape of industrial agriculture, securing a consistent, high-quality supply of raw materials is not just an operational necessity—it is a strategic advantage. As the global demand for bio-ethanol and industrial starch continues to rise, particularly within the powerhouse economy of China, the spotlight is turning toward Southeast Asia’s agricultural potential.
Today, I want to introduce you to a robust, transparent, and scalable opportunity: Premium Dried Tapioca Chips (Dried Cassava) directly from Cambodia.
At Adaeng Development Co., Ltd, we have engineered a supply chain solution designed specifically for the Chinese market. We aren’t just selling a commodity; we are offering a partnership defined by financial security, logistical efficiency, and unwavering product quality.
The Strategic Shift: Why Cambodia? Why Now?
For decades, trade between Cambodia and China has been growing, but we are currently entering a “Golden Era” of agricultural cooperation. Cambodia’s vast, fertile uplands are perfectly suited for cassava cultivation, yielding tubers with exceptionally high starch content. However, for Chinese importers, the challenge has rarely been about availability—it has been about reliability and scale.
Many buyers have struggled with fragmented supply chains, inconsistent pricing, and opaque logistics. My mission at Adaeng Development is to eliminate those friction points.
We have consolidated a strategic network of qualified supplier partners across Cambodia, funneling production into a streamlined export channel via the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port (PAS). By centralizing our logistics and operations, we can offer what few others can: mass volume consistency.
Meeting the Volume Demands of Industry giants
We understand that ethanol plants and starch factories cannot operate on sporadic shipments. You need guaranteed volume to keep your production lines running.
Monthly Capacity: We have the capability to aggregate and ship 38,000 Metric Tons (MT) per month.
Annual Scale: Our infrastructure is built to support annual contracts targeting 1,000,000 MT.
Whether you are a state-owned enterprise or a large private manufacturer, our network is designed to scale with your growth.
Technical Specifications: Quality You Can Trust
In the ethanol and starch industries, “quality” translates directly to “yield.” Lower starch content means higher processing costs and lower output. We do not compromise on the specifications of our dried tapioca chips.
Our product is sourced from premium plantations and processed to meet strict Export Grade standards. Every shipment is subject to independent inspection by world-renowned agencies like SGS or CCIC at the loading port to ensure compliance before the vessel even leaves the dock.
Validated Product Parameters
Here is the quality guarantee we provide for every metric ton:
Radical Transparency: The Pricing Structure
One of the biggest pain points in international agricultural trade is hidden costs. Unexpected fees at the port, fluctuating inland transport rates, or vague “administrative” charges can destroy your profit margins.
At Adaeng Development, we believe in Radical Transparency. We provide a clear, itemized breakdown of exactly how we arrive at our CIF price. This visibility allows you to plan your procurement budget with absolute precision.
Cost Component Breakdown (CIF Model)
We have structured our pricing to be competitive while covering every step of the logistics chain, from the “farm gate” deep in the Cambodian provinces to the destination port in China.
- Raw Material (Fixed Silo Price): $180.00 / MT. This is the price paid to secure the highest quality cassava directly from our network of silos.
Inland Logistics & Port Ops: $42.84 / MT. This covers the complex trucking network required to move 38,000 MT to the port, as well as stevedoring and warehousing.
Coordination Fee: $5.00 / MT. A small margin that sustains the management of the supplier association.
Ocean Freight (Bulk Vessel): $15.55 / MT. We utilize large bulk cargo vessels to secure the most economical freight rates for high-volume orders.
Documentation & Insurance: $12.80 / MT. This ensures you have a complete documentation package for customs clearance and full marine insurance coverage.
Total CIF Price: ~$256.00 / MT (Estimated Total).
Note: Prices are subject to market fluctuation, but the structure remains constant. You will always know exactly what you are paying for.
FOB vs. CIF: Why We Recommend CIF
While we offer FOB (Free on Board) terms where the buyer handles freight and insurance, we strongly recommend CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight).
Under CIF terms, we handle the complexity of ocean freight and marine insurance. This provides you with cost certaintyand simplifies your logistics coordination. You simply wait for the goods to arrive at your preferred port (e.g., Qinzhou), while we manage the risks of transit.
Logistics: The Engine of Reliability
Moving 38,000 tons of product a month requires more than just trucks; it requires a synchronized logistics strategy.
The Bulk Vessel Advantage
For our core volume targets (38,000 MT+), we utilize Bulk Cargo Vessels exclusively. This is the “Buck Enyciro” class of logistics.
- Economical: Drastically lower per-unit freight costs compared to containers.
Efficiency: Coordinated loading at Sihanoukville (PAS) ensures rapid turnaround.
Suitability: This method is specifically tailored for large industrial buyers who need massive stockpiles delivered in a single shipment.
Containerised Options
For buyers testing the waters or those with smaller storage capabilities, we also offer Containerised Shipment. This allows for greater scheduling flexibility and more frequent, smaller departures.
Financial Security: The "Safe Harbor" Protocol
We understand that trust is the currency of international trade. To ensure the safety of both parties, we utilize a strict financial protocol governed by international banking standards.
We do not ask for risky deposits. Instead, we rely on the Letter of Credit (L/C) system, which protects your capital until the goods are verified.
Our Payment Terms
- Method: 100% Irrevocable, Non-Transferable Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight.
Banking Partners: We accept L/Cs from China’s Big Four state-owned commercial banks. This ensures that the financial instrument is rock-solid and recognized globally.
Governance: All transactions are governed by UCP 600 rules, the gold standard for international trade finance.
The Security Mechanism
This system ensures you do not pay a single dollar until you are presented with the shipping documents and the inspection certificate proving the cargo is loaded and meets quality standards. It is a risk-free procurement process for the buyer.
The Procurement Roadmap: 5 Steps to Delivery
We have simplified the buying process into five clear steps to ensure efficient execution from your initial inquiry to the final arrival of the vessel.
- Buyer Enquiry: We begin by defining your volume requirements and your destination port (e.g., Qinzhou, Shanghai). We discuss commercial parameters and delivery expectations.
SPA Execution: We sign a formal Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA). This document legally locks in the price, quality specs, penalty clauses for non-performance, and the delivery schedule.
Banking Instrument: You open the Letter of Credit (L/C) through your bank. This triggers our supply chain into action.
Supplier Matching & Logistics: We consolidate the silo output to meet your 38,000 MT requirement, moving goods to the port warehouse.
Execution & Inspection: The goods are loaded onto the vessel. SGS or CCIC performs the weight and quality inspection. Once certified, we present the documents to the bank, and the shipment departs for China.
Partnership: Building a Bridge Between Nations
This is more than a business transaction; it is an invitation to a long-term partnership.
By working with Adaeng Development Co., Ltd, you are minimizing intermediaries. You are gaining direct access to the source. You are leveraging our regional expertise in Cambodian agriculture and our deep understanding of Chinese import standards.
We are committed to a sustainable supply chain that benefits Cambodian farmers and Chinese industries alike. We are transparent, we are fair, and we are ready to scale with you.
