Packing
"Potato packing" refers to the process of placing harvested potatoes into containers like mesh bags, plastic bags, or crates, typically designed with ventilation to allow for proper airflow, ensuring the potatoes remain fresh during storage and transportation; this usually involves sorting potatoes by size and quality before packing them in a controlled manner to minimize damage.
Key points about potato packing:
Packaging materials:
Most commonly, potatoes are packed in mesh bags, which provide good ventilation while protecting the potatoes from bruising. Other options include perforated plastic bags, crates, and cartons depending on the intended use and transportation distance.
Sorting process:
Before packing, potatoes are typically sorted based on size and quality to ensure consistency in the final product.
Ventilation is key:
Proper air circulation is crucial to prevent moisture build-up and maintain the quality of the potatoes.
Bulk packing vs. retail packing:
Large quantities of potatoes are often packed in bulk for wholesale markets, while smaller retail packages are designed for individual consumers.
