Myanmar has shown interest to import potato from Bangladesh because of the low price of the item here, said the commerce minister yesterday.
Faruk Khan said Bangladesh will export a total of one lakh tonnes of potato to that country primarily.
The minister spoke at a press briefing at his office in the capital after returning from a three-day visit to Myanmar.
Bangladesh may get higher export prices for potato from Myanmar due to the low price facility, he said.
He said investors from Myanmar can now invest in Bangladesh as the cabinet approved a bill regarding that yesterday.
