Overview
At Shah Mercantile Co., we deliver premium export-quality potatoes from Pakistan, carefully graded and packed to serve retailers, food processors, wholesalers, and institutional buyers. Grown in the fertile soils of Punjab and Sindh under controlled irrigation, our potatoes meet strict export standards with guaranteed sizing, hygiene, and shelf stability.
We understand buyers’ biggest pain points—moisture-laden stock, mechanical damage, sprouting during transit, inconsistent sizing, and supply chain opacity. We solve all of these through rigid sorting protocols, food-safe packaging, and cold chain logistics that preserve quality from farm to port.
