Frequently Asked Questions About LR Potato What is the full form of LR potato? LR potato stands for Lady Rosetta potato. Lady Rosetta is a red-skinned, white-fleshed potato variety widely used by the food-processing industry, particularly for potato chips and crisps. In international trade and processing markets, the variety is commonly referred to as LR potato. Who is a reliable LR potato exporter from India?

We supply and export Lady Rosetta (LR) potatoes for food-processing and commercial markets on FOB and CIF terms, depending on the buyer's requirements and destination. What is LR potato and why do processors prefer it? LR potato, or Lady Rosetta, is a red-skinned, white-fleshed potato variety known for its suitability for processing. It typically has high dry matter of around 20–22% and relatively low reducing sugars. These characteristics make it suitable for producing potato chips and crisps with good texture, crispness, and a light golden colour after frying. For this reason, many chip and crisp processors specifically request Lady Rosetta potatoes. What size grades of LR potato are available? PATEL AGRO SPICES EXPORT can supply LR potatoes in different size grades according to buyer requirements, including: 45 mm and above – suitable for chipping and processing applications. 45–65 mm – a mid-size grade suitable where consistent slice diameter is required. 65 mm and above – suitable for French fries, larger cutting applications, and selected table-market requirements. Exact grading and availability can be confirmed based on the buyer's specifications and order quantity. How are LR potatoes packed for export? LR potatoes can be packed in ventilated mesh bags or jute bags, commonly in 25 kg and 50 kg packing options. Export packaging can be marked with relevant details such as: Potato variety Size grade Net weight Country of origin Other buyer or shipment requirements A 40-foot container can load up to approximately 29,000 kg (29 metric tonnes), depending on the packing method, container configuration, and applicable loading requirements. At what temperature should LR potatoes be stored? For LR potatoes intended for processing, storage conditions are important for maintaining frying quality. A storage temperature of approximately 9–10°C, along with a dark and well-ventilated environment, is generally used according to the specified storage program. Storage at excessively low temperatures can contribute to cold sweetening, a condition in which starch is converted into reducing sugars. Higher reducing sugar levels can cause potatoes to develop a darker colour during frying, which may affect their suitability for chip and crisp production. What is the HS code for potato exports from India? Fresh or chilled potatoes exported from India are generally classified under HS Code 07019000. Buyers should confirm the applicable HS classification and current customs requirements with their customs broker or relevant authorities for the specific shipment and destination country. When is LR potato available in Gujarat? The main rabi potato crop in Gujarat is harvested from around mid-February onwards. Following harvest, cold-storage stocks can help extend availability beyond the main harvesting period. Availability can vary depending on the season, grade, quality, and current stock position.
