The Potato
Sourcing of quality starch

Potato is one of the main crops in Bangladesh and is consumed directly; Bangladesh is a major producer of several varieties of potatoes. The favourable climates, soil conditions, availability of necessary cultivation utilities are a few of the main factors that have led to the success of the potato industry in Bangladesh. This huge amount of good quality, freshly grown local potatoes encourages us to establish a potato starch industry within Bangladesh to meet the increasing demand for high quality potato starch.

FATL The Potato Cultivation
Constant Attention to Sourcing quality Potato

The potato, which is free of sprout, green skin, or spots and containing high starch, low protein and low fibre are suitable and best for the starch production. FATL chooses the best seed and variety that ensures healthy, free from sprouts, green skin, or spots potato, which is the best to produce best quality of starch.

In off-season when potato is not plentifully available in the field, we can use potato from FATL's Cold store adjacent to the factory. The cold store is around 20,000 metric tons of capacity. The store completely contains the standard conducive storing environment to keep potato as much fresh as possible using the state of the art cold storage technology.
