Frequently Asked

LR potato FAQs: meaning, grades, packing and storage

Straight answers on grades, packing, pricing and export terms.

What is the full form of LR potato?

LR stands for Lady Rosetta. It is a red-skinned, white-fleshed potato variety commonly used to make chips and crisps.

Where does AL NOOR EXIM source LR potatoes?

AL NOOR EXIM is an APEDA-registered potato exporter based in Himmatnagar, Gujarat, India, in the Deesa and Banaskantha Lady Rosetta belt, shipping LR potato on FOB and CIF terms to Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain and Sri Lanka.

What is LR potato and why do processors want it?

LR stands for Lady Rosetta, a red-skinned, white-fleshed potato variety with high dry matter around 20 to 22 percent and low reducing sugars. That combination fries crisp and pale instead of dark, which is why chip and crisp plants specify it by name.

What size grades of LR potato are available?

Three bands graded to order — 45mm and above for chipping, a 45 to 65mm mid band for consistent slice diameter, and 65mm and above for french fry cutting and table markets.

How is LR potato packed for export?

In ventilated mesh or jute bags of 25 kg and 50 kg, marked with variety, size band, net weight and origin. A 40ft container loads up to 29,000 kg, which is 29 metric tonnes.

At what temperature should LR potato be stored?

8 to 12 degrees Celsius, dark and ventilated. Storing colder pushes the tuber into cold-sweetening, where starch converts to sugar and the potato fries dark — which fails a chipping specification even when the potato looks sound.

What is the HS code for potato export from India?

Fresh or chilled potato exports from India are classified under HS code 07019000.

When is LR potato in season in Gujarat?

The rabi crop harvests from January to March. Cold-store stock extends supply through the rest of the year — ask on WhatsApp for what is available this month.

Which countries does AL NOOR EXIM export LR potato to?

Primary markets are Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain and Sri Lanka, with enquiries welcome from the wider Gulf and Southeast Asia.
