Potato Prices Fall ₹50 in Farrukhabad Mandi Amid Weak Demand
April 9 update from Satanpur mandi shows declining prices, light demand, and rising farmer distress due to weather impact.
Farrukhabad (Satanpur Mandi), Uttar Pradesh — April 9, 2026: Potato prices in the Satanpur mandi of Farrukhabad have continued their downward trend, with rates declining by ₹50 per quintal for the second consecutive day, reflecting weak market sentiment.
According to mandi sources, the market recorded an arrival of approximately 40 truckloads (motor) of potatoes. Despite steady arrivals, demand remains sluggish, which is putting downward pressure on prices.
In terms of pricing, different potato varieties are witnessing varied trends based on quality:
