One factor to consider when investing in potato chips and french fries production lines are whether there are sufficient sources of potatoes. Not only to consider the local potato production status but also to understand the world’s top 5 potato producers, namely China, India, Russia, Ukraine, and the United States.
Muhtasari wa uzalishaji wa wa tano wa juu wa viazi
1. China
China ni mtengenezaji mkubwa wa viazi duniani. Katika miaka ya hivi karibuni, kilimo cha viazi cha China kimeendelea kuongeza uzalishaji, kwa sababu kipato kwa kilo cha viazi ni kikubwa kuliko mazao mengine. Kwa kuongezeka kwa matumizi ya chips za viazi na chips za kukaanga, mahitaji ya ndani ya viazi nchini China yamekuwa yakiongezeka.
About 15% of potatoes are processed into potato products with commercial potato chips making machines and french fries production lines. China’s potato growing regions are located in the western and northern regions. The annual output is 96.13 million tons, accounting for 25.4% of the world’s total output.
2. India
Uzalishaji wa viazi nchini India umeongezeka kwa kiasi kikubwa tangu miaka ya 1950. Kufikia mwaka wa 2000, uzalishaji wa viazi wa India umeongezeka kwa takribani asilimia 850%. Uzalishaji wa viwanda wa India unaendelea kuongezeka, na hii imepelekea kuongezeka kwa tabaka za kati na za juu, hivyo wana kipato kikubwa cha kununua vyakula mbalimbali ikiwa ni pamoja na chips za kukaanga.
In addition, many new potato chips making machines and french fries machines have been introduced into India, which has also promoted the development of the domestic potato processing industry. The per capita potato consumption in India is 17 kg per year, and it is gradually increasing every year. The main potato producing areas in India are in the west. The south is not conducive to the growth of potatoes. Indian potato production is about 45.4 million tons per year, accounting for 12% of global output.
3. Urusi
Urusi ni mtengenezaji mkuu wa viazi ulimwenguni. 79% ya uzalishaji wake hutoka kwa mashamba madogo, wakati 13% ya uzalishaji wake hutoka kwa mashirika makubwa. Wakulima huotesha viazi kwa ajili ya chakula cha msingi, na ziada huuzwa kwenye soko la ndani.
Russia’s cool climate is very suitable for potato cultivation. The potato deep-processing industry has also developed rapidly, and some large-scale fully automated potato chip processing plants have created huge economic benefits. The annual output of Russian potatoes is 31.5 million tons, accounting for 8.0% of the global total output.
4. Ukraine
Ukraine inajulikana kwa kusindika viazi kuwa unga wa viazi na pombe. Mwanzoni mwa karne ya 20, viazi vilikuwa chakula cha msingi nchini Ukraine. Takwimu za sasa zinaonyesha kuwa matumizi ya kila mtu wa viazi kwa mwaka ni kilo 136. Ukraine huzalisha takribani tani milioni 23.7 za viazi kwa mwaka, ambazo zinakadiriwa kuwa ni asilimia 5.9 ya uzalishaji wa dunia.
5. Marekani
The potato crops in the United States account for about 15% of total farm vegetable sales. 50% of its potatoes are processed into potato chips, frozen french fries, starch and animal feed. The frozen french fries processing industry in the United States is well developed.
Mikoa mikuu ya uzalishaji wa viazi nchini Marekani ni Washington na Idaho, ambapo uzalishaji unachangia takribani nusu ya uzalishaji wote. Uzalishaji wa viazi kwa mwaka ni takribani tani milioni 20.55, unaochangia asilimia 5.2 ya uzalishaji wa dunia.
