Chinese Yam Varieties for Export: White, Purple & Slender Roots, Sizing and Sourcing Guide
The Diversity of Chinese Yam
Chinese yam, or nagaimo, comes in several forms prized for texture and nutrition. Huasheng Guoshu, a Chinese yam exporter, supplies the main Chinese yam varieties for retail, foodservice and Asian cuisine markets worldwide.

White and Slender Yams
The classic long, slender yam is smooth, pale and crisp, used raw or lightly cooked. Our white yam is harvested and cleaned carefully to keep roots intact for retail and foodservice display.
Purple-Skin and Specialty Varieties
Purple-skin yams and other specialty types offer different colour and texture. We source purple yam and regional varieties for buyers seeking a distinctive product line in their yam sourcing program.
Sizing and Grading Standards
Yams are graded by length, weight and straightness. Consistent yam grading and clear size specifications let importers order with confidence for each market and pack format.

Harvest and Sourcing Calendar
Chinese yam has a defined harvest window that varies by region and variety. We plan yam sourcing across growing areas to extend availability and give buyers a reliable window for orders.
Packing and Cold Chain for Fresh Roots
Long roots need careful handling to avoid breakage. Our Chinese yam packing uses protective wrapping and breathable cartons, while a steady yam cold chain keeps roots fresh and firm in transit.
