Product Description
The Type A Ventilated FIBC Bag is purpose-built for fresh agricultural produce that requires continuous air circulation during storage and transport. Using an open-weave or mesh-panel fabric construction, these bags allow moisture vapour to escape naturally — dramatically reducing the condensation, mould, and spoilage that plague conventional sealed bulk bags.
From potatoes and onions to carrots, coconuts, and firewood, the ventilated FIBC gives farmers, co-operatives, and produce exporters a robust, reusable alternative to traditional net bags or woven sacks.
Why Choose This Bag?
- Open-weave construction ensures continuous airflow through the product mass
- Prevents moisture condensation — extends shelf life during long-haul transport
- Dramatically reduces mould and rot risk compared to sealed PP bulk bags
- Holds 500–2,000 kg in a single lift, replacing 20–80 small sacks
- Reusable and easy to clean — lower cost per use than disposable netting
Typical Applications Industries
- Potatoes and sweet potatoes
- Onions, garlic, and shallots
- Carrots, beetroot, and root vegetables
- Coconuts, pumpkins, and hard gourds
- Firewood, biomass pellets, and charcoal

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can ventilated bags be used for grain storage?
Type Ventilated FIBC bag is not recommended for grain storage, as the open weave allows fine particles to escape and does not provide moisture barrier protection. For grains, choose our standard circular or food-grade FIBC with a PE liner.
Q2: How do ventilated bags compare to traditional net bags?
Ventilated FIBCs hold 20–40× more product per bag, are far stronger (rated to 500–1,500 kg), and can be lifted by forklift — dramatically reducing handling labour compared to individual 25–50 kg net bags.
Q3: Are these bags reusable?
Yes. With a 6:1 safety factor specification, ventilated FIBCs are designed for multiple trips. We recommend inspection before each use and replacement after any signs of fabric wear or loop damage.
Q4: Can the level of ventilation be customised?
Yes. We can vary the weave density, add mesh side panels, or cut ventilation holes based on your product’s respiration rate and transport duration. Share your requirements, and we will specify the right design.
