European potatoes in local potato chips

Alif Zabr, Dhaka
I purchased a pack of locally made potato chips; and read “made from European potatoes”. Why we have to import potatoes -- and that too from far away Europe? In the 1990s, I purchased potato @Tk 5 per kg in Dhaka. Are we short of potato production? Similarly, we find in the market imported RMG from China and Thailand -- while Bangladesh is the second largest producer of ready-made garments. The question is: should we import politicians to run our country?
