Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed yesterday underscored the need for diversifying the use of potato through changing food habit to help ensure food security of the country. In a statement, he said it is equally important to create awareness in all tiers of the society alongside carrying out a massive campaign about various recipes of potato to popularise it. The CA appreciated the initiative of organising a three-day potato campaign marking 'International Potato Year 2008', declared by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Fakhruddin hoped that such programmes would be extended to the grassroots level to inspire people from all walks of life. He said it is very important to ensure proper preservation, marketing and various types of use of potato so that the farmers get the fair price of it. The CA also urged all concerned government and non-government organisations, media as well as the people to come up in this regard. Meanwhile, a three-day potato campaign, organised by the government, begins today at Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Centre in the city.
