When a huge harvest is expected the imports must be curtailed. This shows that there is no planning by the Minister.

The problem here is that we cannot get local pototoes from anywhere. Even the local potatoes come with the imported label!

In spite of the Rs.50 tax increase, the imported potato will cost less compared to the locally grown. Growers will not have access to imported chemical fertilizers in the future, good news, in order to maintain a level playing field, can we stop importing food grown using chemical fertilizers?

Stop eating potatoes and sugar. Killer food for diabetes. Switch to sweet potatoes and no sugar.
