Potato production in West Bengal is likely to be 30 per cent less than the previous year on account of late blight disease.

Naren De, West Bengal agriculture minister said at a seminar organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) that potato production this year would be 22,00,000 ton less than normal. This comes after a record potato production of around 80,00,000 ton last year, an increase of nearly 60 per cent over the previous year's production of 50,00000 ton, in the state.
