India has the potato belt advantage

India isn’t just a good place to grow potatoes ... it’s one of the best. Sitting squarely in the global potato belt, the country ranks #2 worldwide in potato production, with over 50 million tons harvested annually. That’s not just scale, that’s opportunity.

Frozen potato products optimized for daily rituals

You remember when air fryers were just a gadget? Today, it’s the way millions cook every week. The oven never left the stage either. It remains the steady, trusted partner for family meals and bigger batches. Our products master both, designed to deliver the same crisp, every single time. No surprise there: in-house market research shows 86% consider convenience a core driver when choosing frozen potato products, and speed and health-conscious eating are two of the primary reasons they reach for the category.

Why air fryer guidance matters

More and more consumers expect specific air fryer instructions.

But today, many packs still only show oven or fryer times — and that creates friction.
