The Ministry of Agriculture is aware of the situation and is exploring financial support for producers, investigating unfair trade practices, and seeking to increase domestic potato utilization through processing and retail channels. The government is also considering strategic purchases of potato starch and has updated regulations to allow for the sale of smaller potatoes, while also supporting the construction of storage facilities.
