Bengal farmers in potato protest

七月 18, 2008

Angry farmers in the Indian state of West Bengal have been dumping their potato crop on roads in protest against poor prices.

Farmers say they are selling at a loss because a bumper crop and lack of storage facilities has led to a dramatic fall in prices.

The West Bengal government is asking neighbouring Indian states to purchase potatoes from them.

The move comes as prices for other foods in Asia have soared.
