UK sales holding strong: The British Potato Council told visitors to Potatoes in Practice that the industry has stood up well to the recession, while noting that overseas opportunities are growing

摘要

British growers and the country's Potato Council (PCL) are working hard to sustain demand for UK potatoes both at home and abroad, according to Council chairman Allan Stevenson, who addressed some 650 growers and processors at a recent event. Potatoes in Practice (PiP), which took place on 12 August this year, saw Mr Stevenson highlight the fact that sales of British potatoes had held up well during the downturn, with the exceptions of organic produce and loose potatoes.
