FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are Indian Sweet Potatoes available for export year-round?
Yes, Indian Sweet Potatoes are available for export throughout the year. The peak season for the highest quality and consistent sizing is from January to May. We source from the primary growing belts in Odisha, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh to ensure a premium supply.
Every shipment of sweet potato undergoes rigorous pesticide Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) testing in APEDA-authorized laboratories. We comply with Global GAP standards and provide mandatory Phytosanitary Certification to meet the safety requirements of the EU, UK, and Middle East markets.
We pack sweet potatoes in 10-12kg corrugated fiberboard (CFB) cartons for retail and 20kg mesh bags for wholesale. For international transit, we maintain a strict cold chain at 12-15°C in reefer containers to prevent chilling injury and preserve the natural sweetness.
Our primary export destinations include the Middle East, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. We cater to a diverse range of buyers, including industrial food processing units (for flour and fries), health-food specialized retail chains, and high-volume vegetable importers.
