Market Update: Heavy Arrivals Push Down Prices in Farrukhabad (Satanpur) Mandi (April 29, 2026)

Farrukhabad (Satanpur) Market Update

The potato market is currently under pressure due to a sharp rise in arrivals, leading to lower price realization for farmers.

Arrivals and Market Volume

The mandi recorded 60–70 motor arrivals today, which is nearly three times higher than the previous day.
This sudden increase has created a supply-heavy situation in the market.

Variety-Wise Price Trends

Trading activity reflects a clear impact of oversupply, with prices varying significantly based on quality:

Highland Variety:
Premium lots sold at around ₹701, while other lots traded near ₹661

Kanchan (Damaged Stock):
Lower-quality potatoes dropped to ₹301, while better quality reached up to ₹450

White Potato:
Prices remained under pressure, ranging between ₹200 to ₹400

Market Sentiment

Farmers are facing difficulties as current prices are not sufficient to cover basic costs such as labor, sorting, and transportation.
The overall sentiment remains weak due to excess supply.

Supply Outlook

Market participants expect continued arrivals for the next 15–30 days, depending on the region.
This indicates that price pressure may persist in the short term.

Key Takeaway

With supply significantly exceeding demand, the market is currently volume-driven rather than price-driven.
Quality differentiation and timing of sale will play a crucial role in price realization.
