Cassava Pellets

Pellets are obtained from dried and broken roots by grinding and hardening into a cylindrical shape. The cylinders are about **3 cm long and about 0.**0.8 cm in diameter and are uniform in appearance and texture.

Pellets are produced by feeding dried cassava chips into the pelleting machine, followed by screening and bagging for export. 

There is usually about **3% loss of weight during the process. Cassava Pellets have the following advantages over Cassava chips: quality is more uniform; they occupy ****0% less space than chips, thus reducing the cost of transport and storage; handling charges for loading and unloading are also cheaper; they usually reach their destination sound and undamaged, while a great part of a cargo of sliced chips is damaged in long-distance shipment because of sweating and heating.
