Potato growers witnessed significant price fluctuations across major markets on 1 June 2026. According to today's mandi update, heavy arrivals in Delhi's wholesale markets kept prices under pressure, while limited supply and strong demand for quality produce helped several Maharashtra markets offer better returns to farmers.
The latest market data shows that Delhi's Azadpur mandi recorded the highest potato arrivals of the day. The large volume of produce entering the market led to price pressure, with the lowest rate falling to ₹200 per quintal. As a result, many farmers were unable to secure the prices they had hoped for.
Contrast, several key markets in Maharashtra benefited from lower arrivals and sustained demand for high-quality potatoes. This pushed maximum prices up to ₹2,000 per quintal in some locations, providing a welcome boost for growers.
