JALANDHAR: Potato Growers Association here has demanded export of potatoes to Pakistan and availability of express rail rakes for transporting their produce to southern states, foreign media has reported.
Addressing a press conference here, the growers associate JPGA press secretary Jagat Gill Thamanwal said earlier potatoes from India were exported to Pakistan but Modi-led government stopped the export in July 2014. He said potato growers had suffered huge losses due to demonetization and now their produce was selling at Rs 2.50 per kg even when their cost of production was Rs 6 per kg. Meanwhile, the potato growers said if their issues would not be addressed by June 15, they would resort to agitation.
