Imported frozen french fries are threatening the livelihood of more than 11 000 workers in the potato processing industry, says producers association Potatoes SA (PSA).
Its marketing manager, Etienne Booyens, said the association had asked Minister of Agriculture Tina Joemat-Pettersson and Minister of Trade and Industry Rob Davies to act as the sharp increase in imports of frozen french fries from Europe would leave the potato processing industry in crisis.
