CONCLUDING REMARKS Potatois a popular food crop in Bangladesh and population intake it in whole year.Since potato is a staple food of 40 country so high demand in internationalmarket. The study analyzed the potato production trend and local consumption inthe country and find out the existing exporting position. After meeting thelocal consumption, potato surplus 3.4 million tons in the country and exportingstatus is 70000 tons in 2016 tons which is very low than expectation. Differentbarriers are exist for exporting the potato as a result exporting company couldnot reach up to the mark for export the potato.
The flakes and starch export based manufacturingcompanies do not get enough high dry matter rich potato variety like lady Rosetta from countryfor making the products so they could not also reach export the products up to the mark. Bangladeshfarmers mostly produce the low dry matter rich potato like Cardinal and Diamondfrom log year ago but changing their habit. Another issue, the export company have no enough capacityto communicate international byers, get payment timely, not enough assess thebyers demand, and not able to maintain the potato shipment properly. The China,India and Pakistan our international competitors and we could not competeproperly with them in terms right variety, transport, shipping in time, highproduction cost due to low mechanization and proper communication etc. Thegovernment providing 20% cash incentive to export companies so this is good scopeto export the potato. By this time we exported potato in 38 countries from2008-09 to date but could not continuation the export every year of thosecountries. The Bangladesh need to meet the demand of potato importing countriesand search new country for exporting the potato with the support of government,imported country appointed Bangladesh ambassador, private sector, local trader,development organization and farmers.
Bangladeshhas good prospect to export the potato and fertile soil, favorable ecology andexperience farmers for production. The concluding remarks are listed below- · Ensure availablethe high yielding and international market demand potato variety seed. · Develop plan for overcoming the identifiedbarriers and proper use of facilities for the export the potato.
· Flexible existing policy so that internationalmarket demand potato variety easily bring to the country by the export company fromabroad and provide training to farmers for it production. · Easy shipping arrangement so that exportcompanies can easily export the potato in international market· Government provide support to increasecapacity for exporting company in terms of market identify, easy shippingarrangement and low interest finance etc.· Continue the cash incentive for exportcompanies for export the potato· Agricultural credit facilities are ensure forthe farmers 15.
