I don't know if I fully agree on the viability of potatoes as a "profitable" crop. Unless you are value adding by processing and making fermented alcohol from it (i.e. Vodka). Which may not be useful for us. Of course there are potato chips etc. and other snacks.
Potatoes are one of the cheapest vegetables available - you go to India, they eat cheap potatoes exclusively and make all sorts of snacks from it (Ghugnee, Pani Puri, Pao Bhaji). A Bangladeshi snack called "Potata" is very profitable in India, because it is cheap.
Thereby - profits from other specialty vegetables may be higher than from potatoes. Once a proper cold chain can be established, we can export far more profitable vegetables and make much more revenue.
