马铃薯于1850年由居住在该国高山地区的欧洲人引入斯里兰卡。
目前马铃薯在该国努沃勒埃利耶(Nuwara Eliya)(山区湿润地带,平均海拔> 1000米)广泛种植, 种植季节主要为两季,2月 至7月种植Yala,8月至12月种植Maha,年降雨量> 2,500 mm,气温在10-15℃之间,相对湿度为80%。 马铃薯也广泛种植在巴杜勒(Badulla)(内地平均海拔为1000至1500米的地方),分别在Yala和Maha品种生长的季节,种植在稻田和高地。该地区每年降雨量为1500 - 2250 mm,相对湿度为占70%,气温在15-22℃之间。
Puttlam和Jaffna是另外两个马铃薯种植面积较少的地区。
因其高净收益,马铃薯是内地农民最受欢迎的作物。
