About
CassVita is a Cameroonian food technology company founded by an MIT alumnus that has developed breakthrough biotechnology to extend cassava's shelf life from 3 days to 18 months, dramatically reducing post-harvest losses for smallholder farmers. The company processes cassava into flour, starch, animal feed, and other products that serve as climate-resilient, gluten-free alternatives to wheat, while supporting over 2,400 cassava farmers — the majority of whom are women — to increase their incomes by up to 400%. CassVita's mission is to eradicate food insecurity across Africa by unlocking cassava's commercial potential and creating scalable agricultural value chains.
