Logistics from Cavite
Cavite sits on the Luzon road network, so fresh tuber can move to a Metro Manila or regional processing point by truck without a ferry leg. That keeps post-harvest losses low enough that we can take fresh tuber as well as dried.
For lots above 1,000 kg we can arrange a pickup. We prefer partners who have their own shipping, trucking, or logistics.

How much ube is produced in Cavite?
The Philippine Statistics Authority recorded 196 tonnes of ube produced in Cavite in 2025, from 40.06 hectares planted. That is 1.61% of national output and ranks the province 12th in the Philippines by volume.
What months does ube actually come out of Cavite?
Cavite volume concentrates in Q4 — October–December — which carries 55.4% of the province's recorded output, averaged across 2023–2025. This is measured on volume produced, not area planted, so it reflects when tubers come out of the ground rather than when they go in.
Do you buy small volumes from Cavite?
Yes, but the economics change below a certain size. For Cavite we work with individual growers from 500 kg and with associations or cooperatives at any volume. Below 500 kg the sensible route is to consolidate with neighbouring growers first — we can help coordinate that.
What ube varieties do you buy?
We buy Dioscorea alata (greater yam) — the purple-fleshed ube used for halaya, powder and paste. Kinampay and its local selections are preferred where available for their colour and aroma, but we buy standard local purple types as well. We do not buy Dioscorea esculenta (tugui) or white-fleshed yam.
