April 17 update shows steady high Stock Levels Keep Azadpur Potato Market Under Pressure
Delhi (Azadpur Mandi) — April 17, 2026: The potato market at Azadpur Mandi is currently witnessing soft sentiment despite steady arrivals, as high cold storage inventory continues to weigh on prices.
According to mandi data, total arrivals stood at around 111 truckloads, with Chipsona leading at 36 trucks, followed by other varieties such as S4, Diamond, and LR. Traders report that while supply remains stable, market demand is not strong enough to absorb the available stock, keeping prices under pressure.
Price trends indicate that S4 potatoes are trading at approximately ₹310 per 50 kg bag, while high-quality, cold-stored or well-maintained potatoes are fetching between ₹320 to ₹380 per bag, depending on quality and condition.
Farmers and cold storage operators are facing increasing challenges. A farmer from Meerut highlighted that rising storage and labor costs, combined with excess production, are significantly reducing profitability. Many stakeholders are concerned that if demand does not improve, the current surplus could lead to financial losses.
Market experts and trader groups, including inputs from MS Potato Agra, suggest that for better price stability in the future, farmers should avoid early planting (November–December) in the next season. This would allow existing cold storage stock to clear, helping balance supply and demand.
Overall, the market reflects a supply-heavy situation with cautious outlook, where price recovery depends largely on inventory clearance and demand improvement.
