Abstract: This study is an attempt to estimate the growth rates in area, production and productivity of potato and to study the behaviour of tread, seasonal fluctuation and existence of cycles of potato price in Bangladesh. 'The study shows that the production of potato in Bangladesh increased by more than 5 percent per annum whereas the growth rate in area and productivity were over 3 and 2 percent respectively during 21 the lost two decades. The current price of potato increased significantly over the years but wide seasonal fluctuation occurred in all the selected markets. There is no cycle of potato price but the correligram analysis shows oscillation in a remarkable way in all the markets.
