The project is based on the concept of establishing a factory that produces semi-fried and frozen potato wedges through several stages, the most important of which are sorting, washing, peeling, and cutting, followed by drying and freezing, and finally packaging. Given that potatoes are the third most important food crop in the world after rice and wheat, Mashroo3k expects the project to generate good profits, especially given the recent increase in demand for its products.
In 2021, the global frozen half-fried potato market reached USD 62.7 billion and is expected to reach USD 83.8 billion by 2028, achieving a CAGR of 4.2% during the period 2021-2028.
Mashroo3k Consulting confirms that a semi-fried potato factory project would be a good and profitable investment in Qatar, based on the following:
Today, Qatar produces approximately 491 tons of potatoes, noting that Qatar’s total potato production did not exceed 69 tons in 2015.
The average annual growth rate of Qatar’s potato production reached 109.2% during the following years (2015 AD: 2021 AD).
_ 96.6% average annual growth of potato-cultivated land in Qatar during the period (2015 AD: 2021 AD).
