Potato Powder Price: What Sets It
Potato powder is priced per metric tonne FOB, following flake prices plus milling.
- Fresh potato price: Gujarat's Deesa and Banaskantha crop; about 5 kg of potato makes 1 kg of flakes.
- Energy: drum drying uses a lot of energy (about 10–14% of cost).
- Grade: fine mesh and clean-label powder cost more.
- World supply: Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and the USA lead world trade.
- Freight: light cargo means fewer tonnes per container.
Prices move with the crop and the market, so we quote on the day. Tell us your grade, quantity and port for a current FOB, CFR or CIF price.
Tested, Certified and Traceable
Low-micro lots are steam-sterilised; we never use ethylene oxide. Powder is milled and sieved from flakes and sealed straight away because it absorbs moisture.
- Processing potatoes from Gujarat; cooking, mashing and drum drying
- Milling, sieving, sortex and magnets / metal detection
- Lot tests: moisture, ash, micro, pesticides
- Packing in lined cartons or bags and export documents
