The brand-new Kuk chips factory in the Highlands has begun processing locally grown potatoes into frozen French fries, as part of an ambitious import substitution plan to provide a market for thousands of local farmers, cut the price of frozen foods and save valuable foreign currency.
The Highlands Kuk chips is a 50:50 partnership between the Southern Highlands Provincial Government (SHPG) and the agri-business developer, Innovative Agro Industry (IAI).
