A promotional campaign has launched at select Al Maya Supermarkets in the UAE, focusing on U.S.-grown potatoes. This initiative highlights a range of potato varieties, including purple, red, yellow, and russet types. Key players in this campaign include Kamal Vachani from Al Maya Group, Valerie Brown from the USDA in Dubai, and Victoria Hassani of Potatoes USA, GCC. Additionally, Maria Knight Pacheco and Purple Juachon are also involved in marketing efforts.
American potatoes are cultivated following strict safety regulations and are known for their versatility in cooking and numerous health benefits. Kamal Vachani expressed enthusiasm for collaborating with Potatoes USA, emphasizing their dedication to providing high-quality international products, stating, “U.S. potatoes embody the pinnacle of global agricultural excellence.”
The United States ranks as one of the leading potato producers, supporting more than 2,500 farmers. The campaign aims to highlight the superior qualities of U.S. potatoes—such as their flavor, texture, and adaptability for various culinary uses including roasting, mashing, and embellishing salads or gourmet dishes. Nutritionally, they are rich in Vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and carbohydrates.
Participating Al Maya Supermarkets feature informative displays and exclusive promotions to inspire creative cooking with these potatoes. This initiative underscores Al Maya Group’s commitment to offering top-notch, globally-sourced products while enhancing the shopping experience for its customers in the UAE.
