    The Fry Crisis: When Europe Drowned in Potatoes

    In this episode of the Global Fresh Series Podcast, we explore how Europe’s potato industry — especially Belgium’s iconic frozen fry sector — was hit by a massive agricultural and economic crisis in 2026. Beyond potatoes, the episode is a broader story about globalization, supply chains, farming economics, and the uncertainty facing the next generation of agricultural producers. At its heart, The Fry Crisis is a deeply human story — one about farmers confronting shrinking margins, changing markets, and the fear that the “good years are over.” The story centers on Belgian farmer who was forced to dump thousands of tons of unsold potatoes back into his fields after prices collapsed to zero. The surplus, estimated at five million metric tons across Europe, was driven by a combination of record harvests, shrinking global demand, rising production costs, geopolitical instability, and changing consumer habits. #Belgiumpotatoes # potato exports #frenchfries #glp-1

    From Cauliflower Kings to Diplomats: One Last Bite of Athens

    Join me for a fun, reflective, and produce-filled farewell to Greece as I wrap up an unforgettable month abroad—one conversation, one supermarket, and one peach at a time. 🇬🇷🍑🥒 After a month of living and working as a digital nomad in Athens, it’s time for a final stroll through the streets, markets, and produce aisles of Greece. In this episode of the Global Fresh Series, I reflect on the little things that slowly became part of everyday life—from deciphering Greek signs and mastering a few local phrases to navigating the rhythms of a city that feels both ancient and surprisingly modern. Along the way, I met perfect strangers who somehow led me to a connection with the UK's legendary "Cauliflower King," crossed paths with U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, and discovered that some of the best travel stories happen when you least expect them. #greecefreshproduce. #argosgreece @Σκλαβενίτης. #Δημήτηρ # cauliflower king
