A long-time partner of Tanisa Foods in South Africa has just listed Tanisa-branded rice paper on Takealot, the country's largest e-commerce platform. This marks a new step forward for Vietnamese rice-based products in the African market, following years of stable export cooperation between the two sides.

Tanisa Rice Paper Officially Arrives on Takealot

A partner who has worked alongside Tanisa for many years decided to expand its business by listing Tanisa's round rice paper on Takealot, currently the largest e-commerce platform in South Africa. The product is now listed under product code PLID92090458 on takealot.com.

For a market still relatively new like South Africa, having a product appear on a large-scale e-commerce platform is not simply good news about sales. It shows that the local distributor trusts the quality and the stability of the supply enough to invest further in the product on a new sales channel, one where consumers can compare, review, and choose among many similar products.

Why Has a South African Partner Chosen to Stay with Tanisa for the Long Term?

According to Tanisa, the relationship with this partner was built over many years, based on consistent product quality and mutual trust between both sides. That trust rests on three factors: international certification, production capacity, and real export experience.

A System of Internationally Recognized Certifications

Tanisa currently holds FSSC 22000, ISO 22000:2018, FDA (USA), KFDA (South Korea), and Halal certifications. FDA and KFDA are among the strictest import food safety standards in the world, while Halal certification opens access to Muslim consumers, who make up a significant share of shoppers across many African markets, including South Africa.

Production Capacity and Quality Control

The entire rice paper production process at Tanisa is made and dried 100% by machine, which keeps the product consistent in size, thickness, and shelf life across export batches. The factory has a large monthly production capacity, enough to meet both a new distributor's first order and a supermarket chain's long-term contract.

Export Experience Spanning More Than 35 Countries

Before reaching South Africa, Tanisa rice paper had already entered more than 35 countries, including markets known for strict import requirements, such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Australia. Tanisa currently supplies H-Mart (USA), Don Quijote (Japan), Homeplus (South Korea), Foodland (Australia), as well as e-commerce platforms such as Amazon US, Coupang, and Wildberries.

The "Growing Together" Philosophy Behind Every Market Expansion

In the post announcing the news, Tanisa shared a notable point of view: sustainable exports are not only about selling products abroad, but also about helping partners grow within their own local markets. Seen this way, the South African partner's confidence in listing the product on a major e-commerce platform is a direct result of that process. As the distributor grows stronger, Vietnamese rice paper also gains more opportunities to reach new consumers.

Rice Paper and Other Tanisa Rice-Based Products Being Exported Worldwide

The product listed on Takealot is packaged round rice paper, but this is only one part of Tanisa's full range of rice-based products.

Rice Paper

Besides standard white rice paper, Tanisa also produces vegetable rice paper naturally colored with turmeric, beetroot, and butterfly pea flower, as well as organic rice paper and green tea rice paper. These products contain no preservatives, no gluten, and no GMOs, in line with the plant-based and low-calorie eating trends that are popular in many Western markets.

Rice Vermicelli, Pho, and Rice Noodles

Besides rice paper, Tanisa also exports dried rice vermicelli and pho noodles, instant rice vermicelli/pho, rice glass noodles, and sweet potato glass noodles, along with meal kits such as spring rolls, pho, bun bo Hue, and bun rieu cua, which come with pre-packaged ingredients and dipping sauce, making it easy for overseas consumers to prepare Vietnamese dishes at home.

Tanisa: A Choice for Importers and Distributors Worldwide

For importers looking for an export-standard supplier of rice paper, rice vermicelli, or pho, the South Africa story is a concrete example of how Tanisa works with its partners: flexible minimum order quantities, support for international shipping terms such as FOB, EXW, CIF, and DDP, and a production lead time of 20 to 30 days. If your business is considering expanding its source of rice paper or other rice-based products into a new market, these are factors worth exploring further with Tanisa Foods.

From a factory in Tay Ninh to a shelf on Takealot in South Africa, the journey of Tanisa rice paper keeps expanding, one market at a time.
