Potato bags are produced from a unique ventilated black or white woven polypropylene fabric, which provides optimum airflow through the bag, during storage. Black fabric is specially chosen in order to protect the potatoes from the light. Duffle or flap is often used as a top closure and a bottom spout as a discharge facility. For potato seeds, polypropylene netting is used on two side panels, which allows greater air permeability. FIBC for potatoes, have brought great advantages to potato suppliers in handling, storing and transporting their products compared to the old fashion 50lb woven sacks. They are commonly used in Egypt, Israel, and in many European and Scandinavian countries.
