How big is Cyprus?

Potatoes are one of the highest yielding crops. Cyprus has over 6,000 hectares under potato cultivation and that produces over 150,000 tonnes a year.

r every other greengrocer's in Britain?

between rows. Say 12 spuds a week from each plant. I have no idea but it s eems to me a degree of fraud must be going on if the rest of the common mar ket also sells spuds from Cyprus.

Maybe they are confusing Cyprus with Texas? Should someone tell someone?

HTF did you find that out? At 20 tonnes to the lorry load that is only 7500 deliveries. Fancy them onl y supplying the Midlands and North Wales. I should buy more.

BTW what variety are Cyprus potatoes?

Google.

Of the 1.2 million tonnes of potatoes we imported last year, only 16,000 tonnes came from Cyprus. Imports are most likely to come from France, Germany and the Netherlands, who are the three top exporters of potatoes in the world.

Google?

take your pick

UK produces about 6 million tonnes a year

For whom the CAP works wonders, just not the UK...odd that innit?

We grow rape instead for German biofuels..hahahaha

Probably rebranded Egyptian!

I am surprised that we can't seem to get anything from North Africa. All their pickers have probably emigrated. Just like the Polish picktaters now picking orders at British catalogue companies. Rather them than me.

hahahaha? Seriously?

How long did you think about not posting hahahaha?

Please don't let me stop you doing it again... but...

I'd imagine they stagger the planting and get them all year around.

What is this to do with DIY - stop this off topic posting as per group charter

This group doesn't have a charter.

The OP is obviously wondering whether there is a profit to be made by growing his own potatoes and rebranding them. Definitely a DIY project there.
