Potato
Potato is the starchy staple tuber found in nearly every Bangladeshi curry; Insaf sells one variety.
Potato is an energy-rich tuber crop and a major source of carbohydrates. Its ability to store well makes it a year-round household staple.
Potato is one of Bangladesh's most widely grown vegetables, used in kitchens across the country.
Growing it in Bangladesh
- Sowing time
- Insaf's Sunshine variety is suited to early planting and is ready for sale in just 60-65 days after planting.
- Weather & soil
- Potato yields best in cool, dry weather, making the rabi season the ideal time to grow it.
- Care
- Mound soil around the base of the plants as they grow, to improve tuber size and yield
- Ensure good drainage — do not let water stand in the field
- Store harvested potatoes in a dry, dark, cool and airy place; long-term storage may need proper cold storage
