January 7, 2022, marked the 11th year of a disturbing trend at KFC Kenya. The fast-food chain has been serving subpar potatoes to its customers, with many farmers claiming they have been misled about the quality of their produce.

For over a decade, Kenyan farmers have been fed false information about KFC's potato standards. This has led to a significant loss of trust and revenue for the farmers, who rely heavily on the export of their potatoes to KFC.
