From Field to Global Shelves: How Mesh Bags Enhance Garlic Quality Stability

From Field to Global Shelf: How Mesh Bags Preserve Garlic Quality

In the competitive global garlic market, consistency isn’t just a goal—it’s a requirement. Buyers demand A-grade, fresh, and shelf-stable bulbs year-round. But how do you ensure that when your garlic leaves the farm in Shandong or Yunnan and arrives in Rotterdam or Dubai?

The Science Behind Mesh Packaging

Traditional plastic bags trap moisture and restrict airflow—leading to mold growth within 7–10 days at ambient temperatures. In contrast, PE mesh bags with 1.5mm孔径 allow optimal ventilation while minimizing water loss. According to a 2023 study by the China Agricultural University, this design reduces internal humidity by up to 35% compared to sealed polybags.

“When we switched to mesh packaging, our export customers reported a 60% reduction in quality complaints during winter shipments.” — Dr. Li Wei, Senior Agronomist, Zhejiang Agri-Export Consortium

Cold Chain Synergy: The Real Game-Changer

A mesh bag alone won’t solve everything. It works best when paired with controlled cold chain logistics between -3°C and 0°C. This temperature range slows respiration rates, delays sprouting, and prevents microbial proliferation. Our clients using this system have seen a 70% drop in post-harvest losses over a 6-week shipment period—from Asia to Europe.

From Farm to Fork: Why It Matters for Buyers

For procurement managers sourcing garlic from China, consistent quality means fewer rejections, faster customs clearance, and stronger buyer trust. When every batch meets international standards—from field harvesting to final delivery—you’re not just selling garlic—you’re building a brand.
