Last week, Bangladesh Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi said potato exports will be increased, to ensure that the country’s farmers get a better price. Tipu stated that the country's overall export revenue is going up day by day. This year, the export revenue target has been set at USD 51 billion. The government is aware of potato production, consumption and export, he added.
He said several steps have been taken to keep the prices of essential commodities under control in the country. “The government has intensified surveillance to ensure that imported products like edible oil, pulses, sugar and onions are sold at fair prices.”
