Bumper potato harvested
in Bangladesh in this year. But the harvesters are not happy.
Cause of shortage of
cold storage and high cost, most of them fear about loss. The owners of cold storages
charge 350 taka / 4.375 USD for keeping per 80 Kilograms potato in cold store. So the
poor farmers are unable to store the potato.
As a result of bumper harvest
the price is low here. At present potato is selling in local market at 10 taka /
0.125 USD per Kilogram (1 USD = 80 Taka).
They are looking for a
foreign market to export the rest potato after fulfill country’s demand.
