Azadpur Potato Market Faces Demand Slowdown as Arrivals Remain Above Ideal Levels (2 June 2026)
Azadpur Potato Market Faces Demand Slowdown as Arrivals Remain Above Ideal Levels (2 June 2026)
Delhi’s Azadpur mandi witnessed a relatively subdued potato market on 2 June as arrivals remained higher than ideal market requirements, while demand continued to be affected by seasonal factors.
According to traders, a total of 113 potato vehicles were recorded in the mandi, including some carry-forward stock from previous sessions. Market participants noted that the mandi currently functions more comfortably with arrivals in the range of 70–80 vehicles, and excess arrivals can create additional pressure on prices and stock movement.
Traders reported that demand has softened in recent weeks due to:
• extreme summer temperatures,
• holiday travel,
• reduced consumer activity in the city,
• and slower wholesale buying.
Despite the weaker demand environment, buyers continue to show strong preference for premium-quality potatoes, particularly well-graded Chipsona and Surya varieties.
The market remained highly quality-driven, with traders indicating that only clean, properly graded, and storage-stable potatoes are attracting buyer interest.
Poor-quality dump stock, however, continues to struggle. Market participants stated that deteriorated and damaged potatoes have very limited demand, with many buyers avoiding such material altogether. Traders advised farmers and suppliers to avoid sending weak-quality stock to the mandi as it is becoming increasingly difficult to market.
According to mandi discussions, the following price ranges were observed for 50 kg bags:
• Chipsona potatoes traded between ₹500–650 depending on quality and grading.
• Surya potatoes from the Sambhal region traded around ₹550–650 per bag.
• Premium branded Surya potatoes from Chandausi and Bisoli reportedly sold between ₹650–900 per bag.
• 37-number potatoes traded around ₹350–450 per bag.
• LR and Diamond varieties were reported in the range of ₹400–550 depending on quality.
Traders highlighted that significant price differences are currently being driven by:
• grading standards,
• skin finish,
• size uniformity,
• and overall storage quality.
The market continues to reward premium lots while average and weak-quality potatoes face slower movement.
Market experts also urged farmers and traders to align arrivals with actual demand conditions. According to mandi participants, maintaining balanced supply and ensuring only properly graded potatoes reach the market will be critical for preventing additional downward pressure on prices.
The overall sentiment in Azadpur remains cautious, with future market direction expected to depend on:
• demand recovery in Delhi,
• reduction in excess arrivals,
• quality of cold storage releases,
• and seasonal consumption trends.
The current market trend once again highlights that quality remains the most important factor influencing potato prices across North India’s wholesale markets.
