KFC Kenya considers sourcing potatoes locally after uproar

Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), an international fast food restaurant chain, Kenya, says it will start sourcing potatoes locally.

According to reports, KFC Kenya concluded to source potatoes from Kenyan farmers after delays in delivery from its overseas suppliers.

On Monday, the restaurant took to Twitter to announce the shortage of potatoes because Kenyans loved KFC chips a little too much in December”.

Jacques Theunissen, the firm’s Chief Executive for East Africa, had told the Business Daily on Monday that the shortage of chips was due to a hitch in the global supply of potatoes.
