There is evidence of European-produced potato fries being 'dumped' in the New Zealand market at a loss, says a New Zealand industry body, who warns the 'bad faith' practice threatens local businesses and must be stopped.

COVID-19 lockdowns and less people eating out have slowed demand for hot potato chips in European restaurants, and left their suppliers with a glut on their hands.
