Abstract
This study was conducted during 2010-11 in northern zone of Bangladesh to highlight the current status and the importance of potato farming. About 120 respondents were randomly selected for interviewing and collecting data from Shibganj of Bogra and Kalai of Joypurhat district. The selection characteristics for the respondents were age, education, experience, farm size, family size and annual income. These six characteristics of the farmers were selected for exploring their relationship with their growing preference and production scenario of potato. Age of the potato growers ranged from 27 to 65 years, 20.8% of the farmers was illiterate and most of them have a small family and medium sized farm. About 16.5% farmers have low income up to BDT. 120,000 while 20.8% farmers have an income higher than BDT. 250,000 year-1. Farmers were interested to cultivate the potato due to higher yield and greater profit making than other crops and, they preferred Diamant as the most profitable variety.
