Spud becomes cheaper as higher arrivals hit the market
Potato prices have crashed by about 80 per cent in various primary agricultural markets in major producer-States from a peak of ₹2,750-2,900 a quintal seen in November last year as arrivals have begun to flood the markets.
“Potato prices have fallen sharply to around ₹500 a quintal in markets such as Fatehabad due to higher production this year. Potato output is expected to be at least 20 per cent higher this year,” said Mahendra Swarup, President, Federation of Cold Storage Associations of India (FCAOI).
