This study was undertaken to examine the acreage response to various economic and non-economic factors of potato in Bangladesh.. The results show that the macro level results differed markedly from the micro level results. For the country as a whole the last year's acreage played a dominant role whereas all the district results except Dhaka show that last year's harvesting price was an important variable in acreage response function. The variation of gross profit and rainfall had little or no impact on potato acreage allocation.
