Northern Ireland crisp manufacturer Tayto has bagged a £10 million contract with Tesco, which will provide a boost for the province's potato suppliers. The firm will now supply 11 different own label and branded lines to the store. Tayto already sources 20,000 tonnes of potatoes locally and with the new contract will increase that requirement by 30 per cent.
