Due to load shedding, one of the largest producers in the country cannot process frozen French fries at its usual capacity.
McCain is one of the largest producers of frozen French fries in South Africa. The company indicated to News24 this week that, due to load shedding, it cannot process frozen French fries at the usual capacity. It is aware of shortages at some retail stores. It also has to supply large fast-food chains.
"McCain indicated that it experienced some pressure due to potato tuber moth damage, but not due to a shortage in volumes," says Jacobs."There are enough potatoes to meet local demand as SA had normal yields during this production season." "We have reliably been informed that at least one major local producer is working 'short time'. Prices are now around three times higher than pre-Covid-19," says Hume.
