Azadpur Mandi is currently witnessing very high arrivals, with 196 trucks reported today following a record 250 trucks the previous day. Despite the heavy supply, the market is seeing steady movement due to ongoing Navratri demand, although prices have been slightly adjusted to support sales.

• Previous day saw a peak of around 250 trucks
• High arrivals are creating supply pressure, impacting price stability
Market Dynamics
• Despite heavy arrivals, sales remain steady due to festive demand
• To maintain market movement, prices have been reduced by ~₹30 per bag
• Traders expect demand to normalize after Navratri, which may impact price levels

Key Market Challenges
📉 Falling Profit Margins
• Farmers report that current prices are barely covering basic costs
• Expenses like transport, labor, and packaging are eating into margins
🔥 Rising Input Costs
• Gunny bag (bar-dana) prices have increased sharply from ₹8–₹9 to ₹20–₹22
• This has significantly raised the cost of selling produce
⛽ LPG Shortage Impact
• Shortage and black marketing of LPG cylinders have affected dhaba operations
• This has indirectly reduced potato consumption and demand
Market Outlook
• Experts suggest controlling arrivals to around 120–150 trucks to stabilize prices
• If high arrivals continue, further price pressure may persist
• Post-Navratri demand trends will play a crucial role in deciding market direction
