-The [[Potato Laws]] were tariffs and other trade restrictions on imported potatos enforced in [[Yonderre]] between 1765 and 1788. The laws concerned the import of all vegetables considered potato. They were designed to keep grain prices high to favour domestic producers, and represented [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] mercantilism. The Potato Laws blocked the import of cheap potatos, initially by simply forbidding importation below a set price, and later by imposing steep import duties, making it too expensive to import potatos from abroad, even when food supplies were short.

The Potato Laws blocked the import of cheap potatos, initially by simply forbidding importation below a set price, and later by imposing steep import duties, making it too expensive to import potatos from abroad, even when food supplies were short.
 The Potato Laws enhanced the profits and political power associated with land ownership. The laws raised food prices and the costs of living for the Yonderian public, and hampered the growth of other Yonderian economic sectors, such as manufacturing, by reducing the disposable income of the general Yonderian public and [[East Goths|Gothic]] population in particular.
