Fresh-eating potatoes have a waxy taste and moderate moisture, suitable for direct cooking, steaming, and fresh eating for families and catering; processing potatoes have stable starch content and tight flesh, suitable for making deep-processed products such as french fries, potato chips, potato starch and mashed potatoes. We can supply designated varieties according to customer needs and support mixed loading procurement.
