Fast-food chain KFC has opened up on why they cannot buy potatoes grown by Kenyan farmers. The company's CEO for the East Africa region Jacques Theunissen, in an interview with a local daily, cited quality approval procedures as the reason why they cannot source local potatoes. KFC, on Monday, announced to its customers that they can not serve them their favourite fried chips owing to lack of stock. Ya'll loved our chips a little too much, and we've run out," KFC tweeted. They source their potatoes from Egypt which is one of the largest producers of the product globally.
