April 21 update from Satanpur mandi shows declining Arrivals Signal End of Potato Season.
Farrukhabad (Satanpur Mandi), Uttar Pradesh — April 21, 2026: The potato market in Satanpur mandi is showing clear signs of season-end movement, as arrivals begin to decline and supply from freshly harvested stock starts depleting.
According to mandi reports, daily arrivals have reduced to around 30–35 truckloads, indicating a slowdown compared to previous weeks. Farmers note that “dump potatoes” (fresh or field-stored stock) are finishing faster than usual this season, with most expecting the remaining supply to clear within the next 7–8 days.
Despite lower arrivals, the market continues to face price pressure due to quality concerns and high overall production. Traders report issues such as loosening and sprouting, which are reducing the shelf life and value of potatoes in the open market. Many farmers believe that had these stocks been stored in cold storage earlier, they could have achieved better price realization.
Price trends as of April 21 show:
White potatoes trading between ₹300 to ₹400 per quintal, with premium lots reaching up to ₹421
Red potatoes performing better, priced between ₹601 to ₹651 per quintal
Farmers also highlighted crop-related challenges, particularly the impact of ‘chechak’ (scab disease) in early-stage crops, which affected yield quality even for new growers. Combined with high production levels this season, these factors have kept market prices relatively subdued.
Overall, the mandi reflects a transition phase, where supply is declining but quality issues and surplus production continue to limit price recovery.
