David Milner, CEO of UK premium snack foods company Tyrrells Crisps, has visited Australia to announce a new alliance with supermarkets chain Coles. The retailer will sell the product line in its 700 stores, and Milner says that if sales can be grown to Stg2m ($A3.6m) per annum a local processing plant may also be rolled out. Fresh potato production in Australia has declined 15% over the past 10 years while imports have risen from $A36m to $A132m. The domestic potato crisps market is dominated by Frito-Lay Australia and Snack Foods
