Potatoes NZ

Potatoes New Zealand Inc. represents the interests of the whole of New Zealand’s potato industry from growers to processors. New Zealand’s potato industry has more than 200 growers who produce around half a million tonnes of potatoes from just over 10,500 hectares of arable farmland.

“PNZ acknowledges that significant research has been undertaken to develop potato varieties that absorb less fat. This however, is totally negated if the chip is cooked by an unskilled operator. So the education that The Chip Group undertakes at this stage is crucial. The deep fried potato chip is a key part of NZ culture and it is great that work is being done to improve the health value by improving cooking techniques”

Chris Claridge, CEO Potatoes New Zealand Inc.
