    wadiyen thiyanawa nan gana adu wen na ona :rolleyes:

    can't you read? it says IMPORT Tax.
    the local harvest has been high this time around and the government has increased the levy on imported potatoes so that the local farmers won't go bankrupt..

    i don't see anything wrong with this decision
