Chipping Potatoes

In the UK, each year the consumer purchases more and more value added products. This trend is most noticeable in the market for frozen French fries has seen the last few years its annual volume increase.

While this growth is now slowing and perhaps even reached a plateau, as consumers focus on healthier food options, the market continues to represent still more than 2 million tonnes per year.

We have significantly increased our supply into the potato chips sector in recent years and we plan to continue doing so through supply contracts with local and European imports. We are familiar with this competitive industry. The latest estimates place the volume of imports over 800,000 tonnes of potatoes per year. Pommies Limited is part of this activity and develops the volume produced in France and Belgium. Pommies Limited opens to the UK market to the faithful and efficient producers.
