Why Premium Grade A White Garlic Boosts Your Export Order Conversion Rate
For procurement managers sourcing garlic from global suppliers, the difference between a successful order and a rejected shipment often comes down to one critical factor: quality consistency. In fact, according to a 2023 report by Food Trade Insights, over 43% of international buyers cite inconsistent product standards as the top reason for delayed or canceled orders—especially in Europe where food safety regulations are strict.
The 5 Core Quality Indicators of Grade A White Garlic
What makes a garlic bulb qualify as "Grade A"? It’s not just about size—it’s a combination of measurable attributes that directly impact usability, shelf life, and buyer trust:
- Visual Integrity (No Decay or Pest Damage): Over 92% of European buyers reject shipments with visible signs of mold or insect damage—a clear red flag for poor storage practices.
- Uniform Size Distribution: Batches with ±5mm variation in diameter are preferred by processors for packaging automation. Our standard is consistently within ±3mm across all lots.
- Surface Cleanliness: Clean, dry skins reduce microbial risk during transport. We use post-harvest UV cleaning and controlled drying chambers to ensure this.
- Compact Clove Density: Firm cloves resist bruising during transit. A simple squeeze test reveals firmness—our bulbs average 7.8/10 on the hardness scale (based on 100+ lab tests).
- No Sprouting (Vigilant Harvest Timing): Garlic with sprouts loses value fast—especially in cold-chain logistics. We harvest only when cloves reach full maturity but before germination begins.
