Irish grocery retailer SuperValu expects 32m in Irish potato sales

Irish grocery retailer SuperValu expects to sell EUR32m in homegrown Irish potatoes this season, according to an announcement made on July 20.

Brothers John and Chris Fortune, second-generation farmers based in Kilmore, Co. Wexford, grow the new season potatoes.

As long-standing suppliers to SuperValu for the last 15 years, the Fortune brothers have been growing Irish potatoes on their family farm for over 30 years. John and Chris also supply SuperValu with baby salad potatoes and are one of the few Irish farmers who specialize in growing and harvesting baby potato crops.

John and Chris Fortune will provide SuperValu stores across Ireland with New Season Irish potatoes, including Roosters and Queens, with Kerr’s Pinks and Golden Wonders available in stores from August.

SuperValu sources from over 2,200 Irish suppliers, equating to an annual economic contribution of EUR2.19bn.
