Do not ask what a country can make you for you. Ask what you can do for your country. And if doubling its weekly consumption offries is a civic duty, so then be it.

The question was largely linked to a fall in demand in the frozen potato sector, which represents about 75% of Belgium's potato treatment, he said. As the stocks constructed, the freezing capacity was to be pressed. In order to mitigate the problem, Belgapom appealed before the Belgians on their weekly french fries consumption.

"We work with supermarkets to see if we can launch a campaign asking Belgians to do something for the sector by eating fries - especially fries fried - twice a week during the coronavirus crisis," Cools declared to CNBC , adding "what we are trying to do is avoid food waste, because every lost potato is a loss."

Belgium is known for its French fries, which are typically fries in the oil twice, to give them a particularly crispy and delicious flavor. Belgian fries are also often served with one side of the mayonnaise to dive, although Ketchup is still a very popular condiment for fries.

Pandemic coronavirus caused shockFood supply chains around the world and leading to very real concerns about food shortages. This is the case in Belgium, because cools says CNBC. "To be very honest, the effect on potato consumption will probably last months and we can only try to find solutions in which solutions are - for us in Belgium, which could push home consumption", did he declare.
