Potato Prices Today: Average Wholesale Rate at ₹1,133/Quintal Across 370 Mandis

Potato prices across India are showing a wide mandi-to-mandi variation today.

The latest available market data shows the average wholesale potato price at ₹11.3/kg, or ₹1,133 per quintal, across 370 wholesale mandis in 24 states.

Prices range from ₹3.2/kg in Patran, Punjab, to ₹45/kg at Angamaly Market, Kerala. The overall average is reported as little changed compared with 15 September.

This large difference shows that there is no single "India potato price" — variety, quality, local supply-demand, market location and demand from buyers can create significant differences between mandis.

👨‍🌾 What This Means for Farmers

The wide price range makes it important for farmers to check the actual mandi and buyer price before deciding where and when to sell.

A farmer receiving ₹3–5/kg in one market could see a very different price elsewhere, but the higher quoted price should also be compared with transport, commission, quality requirements and other selling costs.

🚜 What This Means for Traders

For traders, the current spread between markets indicates that location and market demand continue to matter significantly.

Before moving potatoes between markets, traders need to consider the expected selling price alongside transportation and handling costs.

🧊 What This Means for Cold Storage Owners

For stored potatoes, today's price variation is another reason to monitor market movement by region and buyer segment rather than relying only on an overall national average.

Storage release decisions can be linked with local mandi prices, quality and demand from traders/processors.

📱 Why This Matters for Potato Bazaar

For PB users, a single national price figure is not enough.

Farmers and traders need market-wise prices and trends to make better selling, buying and storage decisions. Today's data covering 370 mandis across 24 states shows why market-level information can be valuable.

🟢 PB Takeaway

Potato prices remain highly different across Indian markets today — from ₹3.2/kg to ₹45/kg.

The national average of ₹11.3/kg gives a broad picture, but farmers and traders should check their specific mandi, potato quality and buyer demand before making a selling decision.
