EmailExpert elicitation workshop held to discuss Bangladesh potato sector.
The Global Biotech Potato Partnership recently held an expert elicitation workshop in Bangladesh. Objectives of the workshop were to present the late blight resistant biotech potato to potato value chain stakeholders, estimating potato variety data, and estimating adoption and curve of potato varieties as measured by by the percentage of potato area harvested.
The event was attended by farmers, seed potato producers/distributors, export associations, extension officers, and researchers from the government and other institutions.
The group discussed variety data including production area, yield, late blight occurrence and severity, fungicide use, farm gate prices.
Detailed results of the workshop will be provided in the study 'Ex Ante Economic Impact Assessment of Late Blight Resistant Biotech Potatoes in Bangladesh' to be forthcoming.
