Abstract: The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of tariff reductions on imported potatoes on farmers, consumers and the environment. Potato cultivation employs about 25,000 farmers in Sri Lanka, so has received substantial government support over the last decade. It would be significantly affected by tariff reductions proposed under SAFTA.
