Harvesting and Production

Potatoes are generally grown in temperate climates with well-drained, loose soil for tuber development. The harvesting season varies based on the variety and region but typically occurs several months after planting when the foliage dies back.

Post-harvest, potatoes are carefully sorted, cleaned, and graded to remove defects such as blemishes, sprouts, and rot. Maintaining careful handling and storage conditions—including temperature and humidity control—is essential to preserve freshness and extend shelf life.

Quality and Grading Standards

The bulk potato supply is subject to rigorous quality control and grading standards to meet international trade requirements. Grading typically considers:

• Size uniformity (small, medium, large)
• Appearance and defect-free skin
• Absence of disease, mechanical damage, or sprouting
• Dry matter content, relevant for processing applications

Adhering to recognized grading standards ensures consistent market acceptance and customer satisfaction.

Packaging and Export Practices

Wholesale fresh potatoes are commonly packaged in ventilated bags, jute sacks, or bulk bins designed to protect the tubers during transportation and storage.

Packaging sizes often range from 5 kg up to 50 kg depending on customer requirements and transport logistics.

Export procedures incorporate quality certification, phytosanitary inspection, and compliance with importing countries' regulations to ensure safe and smooth export trade.
