You’re not alone if you’ve ever opened a box of garlic only to find it moldy or shriveled. Whether you're a chef sourcing ingredients, a wholesale buyer managing inventory, or a food processor preparing bulk orders — maintaining freshness and quality is critical. Let’s break down what really matters when exporting garlic, and how the right packaging can make all the difference.
Most garlic buyers unknowingly fall into a trap: using sealed plastic bags or cardboard boxes that trap moisture. Research from the Food Science Journal (2022) shows that 68% of exported garlic samples stored in non-ventilated containers developed mold within 7 days at room temperature. That’s not just waste — it’s lost revenue.
Enter the 10kg mesh net bag. It’s not just a container — it’s an active part of your cold chain strategy. By allowing airflow while containing each clove securely, these bags reduce humidity buildup by up to 40%, according to field tests conducted by our logistics team across 12 countries.
| Storage Method | Mold Risk (7 Days) | Freshness Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed Plastic Bag | ~68% | Low (2–3 weeks) |
| Mesh Net Bag + Cold Storage | ~12% | High (4–6 weeks) |
“The mesh bag isn’t just about protection — it’s about preserving flavor integrity through transit.”
— Dr. Lena Zhang, Food Preservation Specialist, University of Wageningen
For chefs: A clean, ventilated pack means fewer spoiled batches — no more discarding half a crate because one bag got wet during shipping.
For wholesalers: Consistent size and shape improve stacking efficiency and reduce damage in transit — leading to faster turnover and better margins.
For home users: Easy-to-open nets mean less mess and more control over portioning — perfect for meal preppers or busy families.
And here’s the kicker: proper storage at 0–3°C with 85–90% relative humidity extends shelf life significantly. Why? Because low temps slow microbial growth, while ventilation prevents condensation — two pillars of successful garlic preservation.
If you're serious about quality exports, don't underestimate the power of smart packaging. It's not just about appearance — it’s about delivering consistent, safe, and flavorful garlic every time.
