Origin & Traceability
Sourced from Indian Processing Facilities
Geographic Origin
Processing facilities sourcing from UP (Agra/Farrukhabad), West Bengal (Hooghly), Gujarat, and Punjab — the same growing states as our fresh Potato product. Philippines (₹545 Cr), Saudi Arabia (₹321 Cr), and Malaysia (₹279 Cr) dominate India's frozen potato export — QSR sector growth in Southeast Asia and Gulf is the primary driver. Cold-chain integrity from plant to container loading is the critical quality control point for frozen french fry exports.
Harvest Cycle & Availability
When It's Harvested
Raw potato harvest is January–March (Rabi). Processing into frozen french fries runs January–June from fresh and cold-stored potato. Once frozen at -18°C, shelf life is 18–24 months — year-round order fulfillment is standard. Unbroken cold chain from plant to destination port is the critical service condition; HACCP documentation covering temperature monitoring at all chain stages is the required export documentation for QSR and retail frozen food buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buyer Questions, Answered
Philippines (₹545 Cr) is India's largest single-country buyer — driven by a massive and rapidly growing QSR sector (Jollibee, McDonald's, fast-casual chains) and absence of significant domestic potato processing. Saudi Arabia (₹321 Cr) and Malaysia (₹279 Cr) similarly have large food-service demand and limited domestic freezing capacity. For buyers in these markets, Indian IQF frozen potato competes on transit time (7–18 days from Mundra), price competitiveness, and HACCP certification.
IQF (Individually Quick Frozen): individually frozen pieces from blanched raw potato — typically requires full frying by the food-service operator. Par-fried frozen: partially fried (blanched + 60-second oil-fry) then IQF-frozen — the standard QSR format. Par-fried provides consistent colour and texture after the final in-kitchen fry, and reduces kitchen fry time. McDonald's, Jollibee, and most QSR chains specify par-fried. Confirm the spec ('par-fried IQF' or 'raw IQF') with your buyer before ordering.
Philippines: FDA Philippines registration, sanitary/phytosanitary import permit, microbiological test report (TPC, Salmonella, E. coli). Saudi Arabia/Malaysia: SFDA food registration, Halal certification where required. Every shipment ships with: ISO 22000/HACCP certificate, health/sanitary certificate, microbiological test report, and Certificate of Origin. Core temperature at loading: -18°C. We provide reefer temperature log on request.
Standard MOQ: 1×reefer FCL (-18°C). Private-label packaging available with your brand. Payment: 60% advance + 40% against BL copy. Terms improve — 50/50 on second, 40/60 on third. LC at sight for repeat buyers.
