Bell peppers are a leading fresh vegetable in global trade, and importers who buy them in volume need clear, consistent grading to protect shelf life, pack weights and retail presentation. Huasheng Fruits & Vegetables grades Chinese bell peppers by size, colour, wall thickness and skin condition, then packs each grade to the exact specification you order. Buying on a transparent grading standard means your containers arrive with uniform fruit, fewer rejects and predictable costs.

What size grades are used for exported Chinese bell peppers?

Chinese bell peppers for export are normally graded by diameter, with common classes such as 60-70 mm, 70-80 mm and 80-90 mm. Larger fruit is prized for stuffing and food service, while medium grades suit retail tray packs and wholesale markets.

Grading is done by calibre at the packing line so that every carton carries one consistent size class. By ordering in a single grade, importers avoid mixed sizes that complicate retail branding and price-to-market decisions.

How do colour stages affect grade and shipping?

Bell peppers are harvested at defined colour stages - mature green, and as they ripen, yellow, orange and red. Colour is more than appearance: it signals sweetness, vitamin content and transit durability.

Our grading records the colour stage of each lot so you know whether you are buying firm green peppers for long sea routes or ripe red fruit for premium retail. Matching the colour grade to your transit time protects quality on arrival.

What export grades and quality checks does Huasheng apply?

Export grades such as Extra/Premium, Class I and Class II are defined by uniformity of size, colour, shape and the absence of blemishes, soft spots and pest damage. Every lot is checked at the packing house against the grade you order.

Wall thickness and firmness are also scored, because they drive yield and shelf life for your customers. We provide grade specifications in the contract so the fruit you receive matches what we quote.

How are graded bell peppers packed and shipped?

Graded peppers are packed into ventilated export cartons by size class, with weight and labelling matched to your market. Pre-cooling pulls field heat out quickly before loading into temperature-managed containers.

Because the whole line - grading, packing, cooling and logistics - runs under one export chain, Huasheng keeps transit handling gentle and delivers consistently graded fruit to your port.

How can I order specific bell pepper grades from China?
