Potatoes
Company Description

Patatas Meléndez is the leading company in the fresh potato sector in Spain, with a 20% share of the Spanish market. Its success lies in the care it takes in selecting, packaging and distributing the best potatoes.

The company sells around 180 million kilos of potatoes, closing 2021 with a turnover of 90 million euros. In part thanks to a team of around 370 professionals and more than 500 farmers signed up to its Agricultural Plan.

On March 2023, under its far-reaching digitalisation strategy, the company had complete the construction of its new 21,600 m2 fully automated and digitalised factory. A plant that will position the company as a sector leader in Europe, due to its cutting-edge technology and maximum efficiency.

Currently, Patatas Melendez also helps to create a better world, meeting 11 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, with social and environmental policies. At Patatas Meléndez, they care for the earth, they understand getting the product right and we emphasise what is socially important.
