Look out for the Mighty Spud
The campaign, developed by Northern Ireland’s hard working potato growers, processors and packers shines the light on the healthiness, versatility and value of potatoes.
“As an extensive potato grower with an interest in the tourist business I am very aware of the need to promote our products. This is very true for potatoes which have so many excellent qualities, yet can be considered “common” and a bit boring by the younger generation. I am delighted to support the good work of the Mighty Spud promotion in bringing its many benefits to the younger generation. It is not a coincidence that the potato is the fourth most common food in the world with an average consumption of 30 kilos per year for every man, woman and child on the planet,” said Desmond Paterson, Bryansford.
