April 24 update shows Sharp Price Drop Hits Farrukhabad Potato Market Amid Weak Demand
arrukhabad (Satanpur Mandi), Uttar Pradesh — April 24, 2026: The potato market at Satanpur mandi is currently facing sharp price corrections, with rates falling by ₹50 to ₹100 per quintal compared to the previous day, highlighting continued stress in the sector.
Daily arrivals remain relatively high at around 35–40 truckloads, but demand is weak, primarily due to quality-related issues. Traders report that a large portion of the incoming stock is affected by ‘chepa’ and ‘daagi’ (rot and spots), which is significantly slowing down buying activity.
💰 Current Price Trends:
White Potatoes: ₹200 – ₹350 per quintal
Red Potatoes: ₹500 – ₹650 per quintal
Farmers in the region are experiencing severe financial pressure, as current prices are not sufficient to cover production costs. Many growers shared that they had earlier dumped their produce in anticipation of better prices, but are now being forced to sell at lower rates due to spoilage caused by extreme heat.
The ongoing heat conditions are accelerating deterioration in open-stored potatoes, leaving farmers with limited options other than immediate sale, often at distressed prices.
Overall, the mandi reflects a supply-heavy and quality-driven downturn, where poor crop condition and low demand are combining to push prices downward, creating a challenging environment for farmers.
