A poor potato harvest in Europe this summer means that French fries will be up to three centimeters shorter than usual. The poor harvest is because of very hot summer Europe had. The heat caused a lack of rain, which meant farmers produced a lot fewer potatoes than they normally do. Pierre Lebrun,
a spokesman from a potato growers’ association in Belgium, said that the farmers grew 25 per cent fewer potatoes than normal. The effect of this is that potato prices are up and the average size of potatoes is smaller. Fries are the national dish in Belgium. Belgians love their fries so much that they rename
them “Belgian fries” instead of “French fries” because they say the fries were invented in their country. Mr Lebrun explained why fries would be shorter. He said, “Generally, to have long fries, we work with potatoes with a diameter of more than 50 mm. Then you get fries of 8 to 9 cm. This time, as the potatoes
are smaller, the fries will be shorter.”
