China Potato Exports Surge in 2025

China's potato exports have seen remarkable growth in 2025, driven by surging demand for both fresh potatoes and value-added processed products like frozen fries. Here is a detailed overview of the export performance, key markets, and emerging trends.

📊 Export Performance Overview (2025 Data)

China's potato exports are split into two main categories: fresh or chilled potatoes and processed products (like frozen fries). Both have shown robust growth.

Fresh Potatoes: The export value has more than doubled. In the first half of 2025, the value of fresh potato exports surged by 186% year-on-year.
Processed Potato Products: This includes frozen fries and other preparations. The export value for potato products (like frozen fries) grew 57.9% year-on-year in the first 11 months of 2025.

The table below summarizes the key figures for different time periods in 2025:

Time Period	Category	Export Value	Key Growth Rate
Jan-Jun 2025	Fresh Potatoes	$2.4 billion	▲ 186% (YoY)
Jan-Sep 2025	Fresh Potatoes	$3.15 billion	▲ 90.9% (YoY)
Jan-Sep 2025	Potato Products (e.g., fries)	$3.3 billion	▲ 56.9% (YoY)
Jan-Nov 2025	Potato Products	$8 billion	▲ 57.9% (YoY)

🗺️ Key Destinations for Chinese Potatoes

China's potatoes and potato products are reaching a diverse range of markets, with notable shifts and new successes in 2025.

Dominance in Asia: China is solidifying its role as a major supplier within Asia.
- Kazakhstan: China has overtaken Uzbekistan to become Kazakhstan's largest supplier of fruits and vegetables. In the first nine months of 2025, potato exports to Kazakhstan reached $33.4 million (136,000 tons).
- Southeast Asia (ASEAN): This remains a key market, particularly for processed fries from specialized production hubs like Guyuan in Ningxia.
- Traditional Markets: Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand continue to be major destinations for fresh Chinese potatoes.
New Frontiers: Russia and Central Asia: This is the most dramatic growth story of 2025.
- Russia: Demand has exploded. In the first half of 2025 alone, Russia imported 128,600 tons of fresh potatoes from China. This is nearly three times the entire year's total for 2024.
- Kyrgyzstan: This was an almost non-existent market in previous years, but in the first half of 2025, it imported 133,900 tons of fresh potatoes from China.

💡 What's Driving the Growth?

Several factors are contributing to this export boom.

Rise of Processed Exports: China is rapidly transforming from a net importer of frozen fries into a major global exporter. This is driven by large-scale investments in processing plants and logistics, allowing China to offer competitive prices and fast delivery, particularly to Asian buyers. For example, Ningxia province saw its frozen fry exports grow by 26.3% in the first half of 2025.
Fresh Potato Supply & Demand: The growth in fresh potato exports is heavily linked to strong demand from new markets like Russia and Kyrgyzstan, which coincided with China's harvest season. This demand has helped absorb supply and boost export volumes.
Quality and Industrialization: Regions like Guyuan have developed integrated industrial chains covering everything from breeding to processing. This has led to high-quality, consistent products that are well-received internationally. In 2025, a company in Guyuan achieved AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) certification, a "green passport" that streamlines global trade.

📈 Monthly Trends & Outlook

While the overall trend for 2025 is positive, monthly export figures can fluctuate.
Exports typically peak during China's main harvest seasons (spring and early autumn). After a strong first half, monthly exports of fresh potatoes have shown some decline since September 2025 . This is partly due to:

Seasonal Factors: High-quality potatoes become scarcer post-harvest, leading to higher prices which can dampen export demand.
Competition: New harvests in other countries (e.g., Bangladesh, Pakistan) can offer more competitive prices, leading buyers to temporarily switch suppliers.

Mysteel, a commodities data provider, projects that December exports may decline from November but still remain higher than the same month in 2024.
