    French fries have long been a staple in the global fast-food and quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry, driving significant demand in the frozen potato market. As one of the most consumed potato-based products worldwide, French fries play a pivotal role in shaping the production, distribution, and consumption patterns of frozen potatoes. The rise of fast-food culture, changing consumer lifestyles, and increasing urbanization have contributed to the growing popularity of French fries, leading to a surge in frozen potato processing and trade. With convenience, taste, and affordability driving consumer preferences, the frozen potato industry continues to expand, offering a wide range of products, including straight-cut fries, crinkle-cut fries, wedges, and specialty seasoned varieties.
