Potato processing: types of products
Processed products:
- Starch- Flour/flakes- Peeled- Peeled and cut- Peeled, cut, blanched- Baby potatoes- Frozen fries- Chilled fries- Crisps (chips)
Potato processing: starting in a country

French fries from Small food stores
“Processing” in Rwanda: sorting, grading, washing packing
Potato processing: Cottage industry

Some business deliberations
Frozen potato products and raw material for crisps have become global commodities
To be competitive farm gate price less than 150 USD per ton; availabilit year-round
Yields should be at least 25 t/ha in e.g. Rwanda andEthiopia
Meeting specs: colour, L/W, DMC, Reducing sugars(McFry?)
Ethiopia or Rwanda ? Consider yields, sunshine, irrigation, storage and size of the market (capital)
Competitiveness of raw material in Africa
