December 23 is Kisan Diwas, a day honouring the farmers in our country, and it’s OUR pleasure to celebrate and uplift the farmers that we work with too.
At McDonald’s India, we are partners with global level suppliers that help us gain the best local ingredients that are sustainably sourced too. Our menu is delicious, because of its reliance on fresh ingredients to make your faves! In our three decades of being in the country, we’re proud to have empowered hundreds of local farmers, along the way. Local sourcing is the way to go, and it has been a happy journey, thus far!
McDonald’s Golden Fries are a HIT, thanks to the produce of our Golden Farmers
Texture, flavour, look, and taste = 💯
Now those are the defining qualities of our well-loved fries! It’s quite the experience watching these beauties get made too. From the farms we work with to your tray, our fries make it through an interesting journey.
Come, see, as our very own Chef Swarup Solgaonkar takes you through, virtually, via a short film, to witness the greatest fries ever being made.
From Gujarat’s fertile fields to your favorite McDonald’s fries! Take a peek behind the scenes in Idar and Mehsana to see how we craft these golden delights – crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and cooked to perfection in 100% vegetable oil.
Local produce is the way forward
We’re happy to be part of the journey when it comes to working with our farmers and being able to contribute to their growth story.
Working with various farmers also means our produce comes from different parts of India. Potatoes from Mehsana (Gujarat), tomatoes from Western India, jalapeños from Karnataka, and crunchy lettuce from Ooty!
Our farmers’ approach and strategies matter too, making it possible for us to rely on them, as they do – on us. For example, we’ve implemented Global Good Agriculture Practices Farm Standards across all fresh produce farms that we work with – ensuring practices are sustainable.
Our promise is 99% local sourcing, the delivery is 100% feel-good delectability and freshness!
Our Fries – Classic, Piri Piri Spice Mix, and Cheese Fries at McDonald’s are ALL a result of working with the best potatoes and most importantly, the BEST farmers!
Well, it’s our Real Food, Real Good principles working alongside the commitment of our local farmers and other fresh produce suppliers.
