Lamb Weston, a global player in frozen potato products, is currently undergoing a massive $415 million expansion at its American Falls facility. The project aims to enhance the facility’s French fry production capacity by 40%, positioning it as one of the world’s largest frozen potato processing units.
Upon completion, the expansion is anticipated to necessitate an additional 12,000 acres of potato cultivation in Idaho, predominantly in Power and Bingham counties. The first phase of this three-tiered project has been successfully executed, with the remaining two phases progressing steadily. The entire endeavor is slated for completion by mid-2024.
