Former McDonald's restaurants in Russia are facing a shortage of French fries due to a poor harvest and Western sanctions over Ukraine, a business newspaper reported on Friday.
Russia's newly rebranded McDonald's restaurants are running short of French fries. The company hopes that the new harvest year will see the food returning to menus.
The US fast-food giant announced in May that it would exit Russia in the wake of Moscow's attack on Ukraine. The restaurant that launched McDonald's in Russia in 1990, heralding Moscow's opening after decades of Soviet rule, reopened in June with a new name and logo."Some of the newly-opened Vkusno i Tochka restaurants will not have any French fries," business newspaper RBC said, quoting the company.The shortage has been linked to a poor harvest in 2021, as well as the company's inability to import potatoes from several countries due to Western sanctions.
