Avecafrica proudly supplies high-quality cassava starch from Nigeria to importers, food manufacturers, industrial processors, and distributors worldwide. Available in both food grade and industrial grade, Deko cassava starch is designed for buyers seeking a dependable, competitively priced, traceable, and export-ready starch source from one of the world’s largest cassava-producing countries.
Nigeria produces approximately 60–63 million tonnes of cassava annually, creating a strong raw material base for starch production. Yet less than 10% of that harvest is currently processed into industrial derivatives such as starch. This presents a valuable opportunity for international buyers to secure a growing, non-GMO supply origin supported by abundant agricultural resources and expanding agro-processing capacity.
Deko’s cassava starch is supplied with full documentation, including Certificates of Analysis, independent laboratory reports, and export certifications, giving buyers confidence in quality, compliance, and consistency. The product is manufactured in accordance with NIS 344:2004 and ISO 22000:2018 standards.

Deko industrial grade cassava starch is supplied for manufacturing and technical applications such as binding, thickening, sizing, and other industrial uses. It is also a fine, smooth, white starch powder and is produced to meet buyer-specific technical requirements.
The viscosity percentage for industrial grade cassava starch will be adapted by contract according to the requirements of each purchase agreement. This gives industrial buyers the flexibility to specify the exact performance needed for their process.
Industrial grade starch is supplied with the same commitment to traceability, export readiness, and quality control, supported by microbiological compliance under NIS 344:2004 and ISO 22000:2018.
Deko understands the needs of serious bulk buyers. The company offers flexible shipping solutions, including large-volume programs starting at 20,000 MT for long-term partners. This makes Deko an attractive sourcing partner for importers and manufacturers looking to build secure, scalable supply relationships.
For bespoke specifications, firm quotations, and end-to-end logistics, Deko’s sales team can arrange product samples, laboratory reports, and a tailored commercial proposal.
While Nigeria is still an emerging exporter in the global cassava starch market, the country’s growth trajectory is strong. Export volumes are rising, regional demand continues to expand, and investments in processing are gradually improving supply capacity. For international buyers, this creates an opportunity to secure a strategic supply origin early, before demand tightens further.
Avecafrica combines competitive pricing, documented quality, and export flexibility to meet the expectations of global buyers. For importers and manufacturers seeking a reliable cassava starch partner from Nigeria, Deko offers more than product supply — it offers a pathway to long-term sourcing security.
