Potato crop is being treated as foremost crop. This research was conducted to find out the problems that the farmers face in cultivation and to study the trend of production of potato and relationship between production and export of potato of Bangladesh. The study also aims to show the estimates of potato per division in Bangladesh and thus to help in showing its prospects. This research is quantitative in nature. Data collected from both primary and secondary data sources. Primary data collected from 50 farmers using convenience sampling technique with a set of questionnaires designed for this study.
