Potato and potato products in the Phillipines

Noviembre 02, 2007
In the Philippines, potato is consumed as a vegetable and occasionally as a snack item. It is ideally cooked with meat, often as a meat extender in recipes such as “adobo,” “egado,” curry, and “lumpia.” There are about 12 Philippine companies that produce potato chips and snacks. Demand for French fries is growing at the rate of 23 percent per year.
