Potato in Australia
It is no longer practical to grow potatoes for a general market: growers produce to the specification of a particular buyer – fresh market, crisping or French fry – or face penalties and rejection. Variety, spacing, agronomy, desiccation and storage are all planned around that specification. Western Australia still has a Ware Potato Grading and Packing Code.
From receival to invoice
- Receive Trucks unloaded with weights and tare deducted, by grower and paddock.
- Store Bulk or boxed storage with FIFO and condition monitoring.
- Grade & prepare Washing or brushing, grading and sizing with yield per lot.
- Pack & ship Bags, cartons and bulk for retail, food service and processors.
Potato quality checks
Inspections on phones or tablets with photos, against templates set to each customer's specification. Results attach to the lot and appear on grower and customer QC reports.
- Greening, scab and bruising
- Size and shape grades
- Internal defects
- Dry matter / specific gravity
