Bruise Management
Our proprietary handling process
Allied Potato takes tremendous pride in developing new ways to grow, harvest and handle our potatoes utilizing comprehensive bruise-free processes. With each passing year since we began exporting potatoes, Allied has significantly improved bruise numbers with our proprietary production and monitoring system that minimizes bruise occurrences, delivering better quality potatoes to our valued customers.
Seed Potatoes Program
Another jump-start we have
Because high quality seed selection is essential to a successful potato crop, Allied Potato developed our own seed program focused on producing high quality seed potatoes throughout the year for our own use, and the use of our customers. Allied Potato harvests our seed in May and June for re-planting September thru December, giving us the distinct advantage of planting our potatoes 4 to 5 months earlier than most commercial potato producers in North America.
Transport Innovation
Unique design
In 2013, Allied Potato started out trucking company in Washington called Allied Potato Transportation, Inc. Recognizing the need for innovation in trucking, we designed a new concept for transporting our potatoes that trialed in the Northwest this year, and has already provided a key customer and our own potato packing operation with increased efficiency. Our specially designed trucks and trailers are lightweight with fewer axles, but still support maximum, legal gross weights to minimize the number of trucks per year we have on the road and greatly reduce the environmental footprint of transporting our products. With increased fuel efficiency, our trucks can haul more product with less fuel, creating a winning advantage and strategic partnership with our valued customers.
