Explained in plain English

Will my chips cost more?

The reduced potato harvest means fewer spuds are available for processing into your favourite chips, crisps, and other potato products. When supply goes down but demand stays the same, prices usually go up. So, you might notice a slight increase in the cost of your weekly chip shop order or supermarket potato purchases soon.
