India’s Journey from French Fry Importer to Top Exporter

by Raxer X.

in Importing & Exporting, Industry

India’s transformation from a country that imported frozen French fries to one that exports them widely showcases how the food industry has changed and how people’s tastes are evolving. It all started in 1992 when an American company called Lamb Weston introduced frozen French fries to fancy restaurants in India. By the mid-2000s, imports had increased significantly, reaching over 5,000 tonnes each year and topping out at 7,863 tonnes in 2010-11.

Now, in 2023-2024, the situation is quite different. India exported an impressive 135,877 tonnes of French fries, worth around ₹1,478.73 crore, making it an important player in the global market.

What Led to This Change?

A few key factors have driven this amazing shift:

  1. Growing Demand: The rise of fast-food chains and quick-service restaurants, like McDonald’s, KFC, and Burger King, has boosted the need for French fries. Many popular local restaurants have also joined in, creating a strong market for frozen potato products.
  2. Better Potato Production: As the world’s second-largest potato producer, India has had a crucial role in this success. While Indian potatoes used to be great for eating raw but not ideal for making fries, improvements through specialized farming and growing specific potato types have enhanced their quality and yield for French fry production.
  3. Increased Exports: From April to October 2024, India’s French fry exports climbed to 106,506 tonnes, valued at ₹1,056.92 crore, showing the country’s rising presence in international markets.

Economic Benefits

In 2023, the frozen potato products market in India was worth $1.6 billion, and it is expected to grow to $4.0 billion by 2032, with a steady growth rate of 10.3% each year. This is fueled by the growing popularity of ready-to-eat snacks and the expansion of the food service industry.

Global Market Trends

India’s French fry exports are making their mark in countries like the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, which together make up 72% of the total exports. This trend reflects India’s competitive prices and the increasing demand for its products in Southeast Asia.

Conclusion

India’s rise from a French fry importer to a leading exporter highlights the country’s vibrant food industry and its adaptability to global market demands. With continuing improvements in agriculture, strategic market growth, and increasing local demand, India is set to maintain a strong position in the global French fry market.
