WHY POTATO FARMING RUNS IN LOSS
There are many reasons but I will elaborate hear some reasons.
The first one is of course the excessive production of potatoes. The production of potatoes is much more then the actual quantity needed. And according to farmers farming potatoes is not cheap. 60000 rupees per acre actually needed to produce a acre land of potato. Due to higher production quantity maximum Times sell rate of potatoes is very low so farmers faces loss.
The second one is the weather effect. Potato needed cold temperature to grow. For global warming sometimes it is very cold and sometimes the weather get little bit hotter in winter. This thing affected on potato farming a lot. And after that the rain, it affects a lot. Like this year in (25/2/2019)West Bengal ,Hooghly too much rainfall in the month of February it affected potato cultivation a lot. Acres land with potatoes got rotten because of excess water due to rainfall. The government in India and West Bengal is communicating with the farmers and give them special benefits loan packages to recover from this types of losses. The weather effect became the main culprit many times of farming potatoes especially the time of harvesting potatoes.
