Fresh Potato: The World's Most Versatile Crop in International Trade

Potatoes are starchy root vegetables consumed all over the world. Originating from the Andes mountains of South America, they come in different sizes and shapes. Interestingly, there are over 4000 varieties of native potatoes and more than 180 wild potato species. Did you know that potatoes are the world's third most important food crop in human consumption after rice and wheat?  In fact, potatoes are known to produce more food per unit of water than any other major crop. It was initially cultivated by ancient Incas thousands of years ago. In the early 1600s, the governor of the Bahamas gifted potatoes to the governor of Virginia, and that's how these versatile vegetables entered North America. However, they became popular only when Thomas Jefferson (the third president of the United States) served potatoes at the White House. And as they say, the rest is history, as today potatoes are one of the most consumed vegetables in the world. Also, they are a critical part of the global food economy. That's the reason why fresh potato buyers and importers are actively seeking reliable suppliers to meet this global demand. 



Why Fresh Potatoes Remain a Global Staple

The global appetite for fresh potatoes continues to stay strong, from food processing to household consumption. There are a range of food applications of potatoes. They can be boiled, baked, mashed, or even processed into other products like sweet potato fries, hash browns, or potato twisters. The growth of the food processing industry and fast food chains has led to a rise in the consumption of this highly viable export commodity. Moreover, potatoes are known for their versatility, accessibility, and nutritional value. 


Needless to say, they are a staple food in many cultures and cuisines. Also, they are a relatively less expensive source of calories and nutrients as compared to other food options. This makes it affordable and accessible to all kinds of consumers. Potatoes do offer nutrition as they are a good source of carbohydrates, vitamin C, and potassium. Another factor responsible for its growing demand is that they are resilient to climate change. Yes, potatoes not only have a shorter growing cycle, but they can also be cultivated in diverse environments. 


An important trend to note is that regions once considered unsuitable for large-scale potato cultivation, such as Africa and Latin America, are now emerging as key players in the global market. This shift is driven by several reasons:

  • New farming techniques, with countries like Egypt, Kenya, and Peru modernizing their potato sectors
  • Climate-resilient potato varieties that can withstand drought and heat
  • Innovations in agronomy (the science of soil and crop production)
  • Increased investments in infrastructure, including cold storage and modern irrigation systems



What Fresh Potato Buyers Expect from Suppliers

There is a variety of fresh potato buyers in the global marketplace, ranging from distributors supplying supermarkets and food processing units producing potato-based products to retail chains and institutional buyers such as restaurants, caterers, and hotels. However, all fresh potato importers or buyers share some common expectations with suppliers or exporters. And these include:

  • Proper sorting, grading, and packaging (preferably jute or ventilated plastic sacks) are needed
  • Should have low sugar content (less than 0.1%) for processing into chips and fries
