ABSTRACT

Area coverage, production and yield of potato have increased in last few decades in Bangladesh. The average yield of potato is 18.08 t/ha. Its production can be increased up to 30-40 t/ha using high yielding varieties and improved production technology. Tuber Crop research Centre (TCRC) of BARI has so far developed 44 potato varieties which were selected from exotic varieties, foreign germplasm and germplasm developed in Bangladesh by introducing and crossing programme. The formal seed potato produced less than 10% seeds of the total requirement. But the supply of quality seeds through formal system is remarkably increasing. The seeds supplying through informal system is not recognized to be quality seeds because in the informal system seeds are not produced by following the steps of seed technology, rather tubers for food are used as seeds. The formal sector seed potato production is only 5-9% of the total requirement. The use of these poor quality seed is one of the major factors responsible for lower potato yield. Unless quality seed potato our challenge for achieving food security of the country cannot be fulfilled. In prioritizing different issues of agriculture, supply of high quality potato seed to the farmers should be essential concern. For increasing quality seed supply to the farmers, formal and informal sector need to work together with both contact grower and farmer level to produce seed potato by multiplication of foundation seeds or tissue culture seed or mini-tuber supply. The capacity and capability of both public and private sector should be strengthened for the improvement of seed potato system in Bangladesh.

Keywords: Seed Potato, varieties, yield, supply chain, constraints and potentials.
