Bangladesh is missing out on the big bucks India is raking in exporting a snack as ubiquitous here as popcorn is in the West.
Poppadom, or papor as it is called in Bangla, is a very thin oil-fried crisp in the shape of a flatbread made from a mixture of powdered green and black grams and grass pea.
The export of poppadom, which is mass produced in Dinajpur, is yet to see a success.
However, it is exported by India to 131 markets, the largest being the United Kingdom.
