Direct Tomato Powder Supply for South African Food Processing & Seasonings

South Africa’s commercial food sector—famous for potato chip dustings, extruded snacks, braai marinades, prepared gravies, and canned meats—requires high-color, low-moisture tomato powder that meets stringent **Department of Health Regulation R638** hygiene standards and microbiological controls.

At IndiRoot Exims, our production units process high-solid Indian tomatoes into concentrated Spray-Dried and Hot-Air Dehydrated Tomato Powders. By maintaining moisture strictly below 5.0%, our free-flowing powder avoids clumping during 18 to 22 days of ocean transit across the Indian Ocean and stores reliably in Gauteng and coastal warehouses.

With direct ocean container routes from Nhava Sheva and Mundra ports to **Port of Durban** and **Cape Town**, we provide solid stock stability for buyers in South Africa and regional SADC trade zones (Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia).
