We are passionate
about farming.

Many of our delicious products are made from potatoes and vegetables grown on farms around the world. McCain currently partners with around 3,500 farmers, harvesting nearly 6.8 million tons of potatoes every year. We are dedicated to supporting their day-to-day practices, as well as looking to the future of farming.

We predominantly source locally

Product quality is a major priority, which means getting the potatoes into our factories as quickly as possible to keep them safe and fresh. So sourcing our potatoes from farms local to our factories is a real benefit – in fact, most of our manufacturing facilities are based close to traditional potato growing areas.

We work with partners who support our views on quality and ethics

Our values are at the heart of everything we do. So we work with farmers who are aligned to these values, to deliver high food safety and quality standards.

We embrace innovative thinking in farming practices

We always strive to be better, which is why we welcome farming partners who are open to innovation, enabling them to both stay competitive in the industry and maintain standards of excellence.
