Potato export: A blessing for farmers

Potato export: A blessing for farmers

Ahmed Imtiaz, Banani, Dhaka

Although potato is grown in a large scale in Bangladesh, every year due to lack of cold storage facilities a huge amount of potatoes rot and farmers either have to sell their product at very low prices (2 taka per kg!) or throw them away. Hopefully, this situation will change for the better as Russia is going to import potato from our country. We hope this will help potato growers get a fair price.
