I don't get the logic of producing potatoes to export... and then importing potatoes instead of selling our own potatoes to our own people.
THis only makes sense if there's something to gain from it. I mean exporting at a high price and importing at a lower price.
In that case, wouldn't it be easier to import at a lower price and resell them at a higher price? That way they could skip production altogether and would save a lot on the costs. 🤣
Let's not forget that there are taxes to pay, depending on whee you're buying from and these are details I'm not up to date with.
However, I'd be happy to see 3 - 4 types of the same vegetable on the shelf, coming from different countries (if must) at different prices so the buyer can decide, but it's not like that as i could only find one of each, except for the garlic of course.
