UK: M&S potato supplier sees growth in 2017
The company upgraded its potato packing facility in Spalding in its 2014/15 financial year and has continued to invest in people and processes, which it said "contributed significantly" to its performance in the year under review.
The UK's potato harvest in 2015 totalled 5.4 million tonnes, down from 5.7 million tonnes, but Manor Fresh said the "overall quality, availability and values" remained relatively stable.
It added that the sale of green vegetables was "particularly strong" due to customers' awareness of the health benefits of unprocessed vegetables.
