The first of the new season potato crop is currently on sale in SuperValu stores nationwide.

“We are delighted to stock the first of this season’s new Irish potatoes in SuperValu," said Martin Kelleher, Managing Director of SuperValu.

As the largest purchaser of Irish potatoes we are proud of our commitment to Irish farmers who play a central part of communities all across the country”.
