Due to a bumper Indian crop available at comparatively low cost in the international market, Pakistani export of the vegetable during the current year has come to a virtual halt causing millions of dollars worth of monthly loss to the national exchequer. Last year Pakistan exported around 350,000 tonnes of potato.
Talking to Daily Times, Haji Shahjahan President Wholesale Vegetable Welfare Association Sabzi Mandi said this year despite huge crop of the vegetable, the export process is to suffer stagnation.
