When buying fresh potatoes for wholesale export, the product specification should be agreed before a quotation is finalised. “Fresh potatoes” is not a complete specification: the buyer and supplier need the same understanding of size, grade, packaging, destination and shipment timing.
Specify the potato size range
Wholesale buyers commonly use size ranges such as 40–60 mm, 50–70 mm or 60 mm and above, but the right range depends on the market and intended use. Retail customers may prefer more uniform potatoes, while food-service or processing buyers may have a different target range. State whether the measurement is based on diameter and whether a tolerance is accepted.
Confirm the grade and quality standard
The contract should explain the condition expected at loading. Buyers often want to discuss skin condition, shape, visible defects, sprouting, damage and allowable variation. A pre-shipment photo or video can help both sides confirm the agreed product. For processing uses, the buyer should state any technical requirements early, because not every fresh-market potato is suitable for chips or French fries.
Choose packaging for the destination market
Mesh bags are practical for many wholesale markets because they provide ventilation and are easy to handle. Other buyers may request printed bags, cartons, palletised packaging or a specific net weight. Confirm the bag material, net weight, label wording and shipping marks before packing begins. The package description should match the commercial invoice and packing list.
Plan the order around logistics
The destination, port, Incoterm and container plan affect the final packing approach. Buyers should provide the receiving market, requested quantity and target shipment period when asking for a quote. The supplier can then discuss current availability, grading, storage and export coordination based on the actual order.
