Bangladesh decides to import potatoes to stabilise market.
Nov 01, 2023

The government has decided to import potatoes to control surging market prices.
 
'The decision has been taken to increase the supply of the product in the market and to keep the price stable considering the current situation,' the commerce ministry said in a statement on Monday.
 
'Interested importers of the product are requested to submit applications to the ministry.'
 
Good quality potatoes are currently being sold at Tk 60 per kg which is the highest in the country’s recent records. The highest potato price in the past decade was Tk 35 per kg.
 
The government previously approved the import of eggs in September to stabilise the market. The import process has started, but the measure has had little impact on the market.
