The potato industry in Belgium has been hit hard by COVID-19.
When the virus began shutting down Italy, Spain and eventually Belgium, the crisis was in full swing, according to Romain Cools.
He said the country has a giant surplus of potatoes, caused by the shutdown of the food service sector, since about 70% of the potatoes in Belgium are consumed out of the home.
“We are not only facing problems for our potato growers, but also our processing industry. ”
“They are processing these potatoes, which they promised to take from the farmers, but they have a lack of freezing capacity at this moment,” said Cools.
He has been thinking of ways to increase the consumption of potatoes, one of the main staples of Belgian food, including eating more fries.
“I just said from the heart, ‘You could help us by just buying, and eating, extra time frozen potato products during the coronavirus crisis,'” Cools said.
