Potato Price Collapse in Bengal Threatens Farmers, Storage

Potato Price Collapse in Bengal Threatens Farmers, Storage

Imagine farmers growing potatoes, and then they store them in cold places to keep them fresh.

But now, the price they can sell the potatoes for has gone down a lot.

This means they might lose money.

The people who own the cold storage places are worried too, because no one wants to buy potatoes.

They want the government to help by buying the potatoes at a better price, otherwise, farmers might not grow potatoes next year, which can make things worse for everyone.
