UP Potato Markets Under Pressure as Fresh Arrivals Increase
High Arrivals from New Crop and Cold Storage
Potato mandis across Uttar Pradesh are witnessing strong arrivals as fresh harvesting picks up while stocks from cold storages continue to be released. Major producing belts including Kannauj, Farrukhabad, Hathras and Chhibramau are reporting steady inflows, leading to ample availability across markets.
Current Price Range in Key Mandis
According to trade sources, new-season potatoes are currently trading in the range of ₹800 to ₹1,000 per quintal, depending on quality and size. Better-grade produce is fetching slightly higher rates, while average and mixed grades are being traded at the lower end of the range. The presence of old stock in the market is also influencing price discovery.
Weather and Crop Health Watch
Recent weather conditions marked by cool nights, fog and rising humidity have increased the risk of fungal diseases, including late blight, in standing crops. Agriculture officials are advising farmers to closely monitor fields and adopt timely preventive measures to protect yield and quality.
Market Outlook
With arrivals expected to remain strong in the coming weeks, prices are likely to stay quality-driven. Farmers and traders are closely tracking demand trends as harvesting progresses across the state.
