Aardappelbewaring uit Irak

Beirut Erbil Company welcomed Bulgarian Consul Vasil Vasilev, Dr. Trifon Iliev, and a delegation who praised its potato chips plant, warehouses, quality labs, and discussed future Iraq-Bulgaria trade and investment opportunities.

B.E.P.P CO is a potato chip manufacturer from Iraq that offers natural potato chip products under the following brands: Mr.Krisper and Mito. To optimize potato quality, B.E.P.P CO opened this season a new state-of-the-art potato storage facility that can provide optimal conditions for potatoes for processing at all times.

The Kurdish Ministry of Agriculture predicts that farmers will plant more than 15,000 tons of seed potatoes in mid-February, increasing the amount of potatoes produced in the region.

Potato production in Kurdistan has seen a 13-fold increase over the last 7 years and is well above domestic demand, allowing export of the surplus. Nevertheless, potatoes have to be imported later in the season, since local potato storage capacity is lacking.
