Novel Business Acquisition by Patatas Meléndez

Patatas Meléndez has recently purchased the Galician company Patatas M. Prado Mazaira, a benchmark in the Galician potato sector.

“Galicia has enormous wealth as an agricultural region. Being able to offer Galician potatoes to our current customers is a great milestone for the company”, Javier Meléndez, CEO of Patatas Meléndez explained, cited by El Dia de Valladolid.

The Valladolid company will continue to rely on the entire Patatas Prado team.

“With the acquisition of Patatas Prado, Patatas Meléndez will continue to respect this philosophy, which is why it has decided to maintain the entire organization and structure of the company”, based on a recent press release. “At Patatas Meléndez we continue to bet on national production and on generating value in the potato category. With this business movement, the company will be able to have the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) and include the Galician potato in its product portfolio, which is characterized by having an excellent flavor and texture”.

Patatas Meléndez signed a purchase agreement with Integral Potato SL, a company in the fresh potato sector based in Medina del Campo, in 2020.
