McDonalds won’t budge on potato contract
24 Aug 2005

Fast food chain McDonalds said it would not reinstate a potato chip contract with farmers in Tasmania, but the company agreed to look at new products from the state's farmers. McDonald's chief executive Peter Bush met a dozen farmers yesterday in Launceston in an effort to establish a better relationship after its March decision to halve the state's french fries contract. Tasmanian farmers would continue to supply all the potatoes for McDonald's hash browns and half of its chips.
