State-Wise Potato Prices - Complete Mandi Report (08 December, 2025):

Market Analysis:

Bihar, the Jyoti variety maintained stable to slightly higher prices today. Mandis like Aarah, Brahmpur, and Sheohar recorded strong rates, with maximum prices touching ₹2,200 to ₹2,500 per quintal — a clear improvement compared to the last few days. Prices remained softer in Buxur and Natwar, where the lower range fell between ₹1,200 and ₹1,600 per quintal. Arrivals remained normal across most markets, supporting overall price stability.

Delhi’s Azadpur mandi once again reported very high arrivals more than 1,675 tonnes which caused the lowest price to slip to ₹300 per quintal. The upper range stayed at ₹1,200 per quintal. Keshopur mandi showed slightly better performance, offering maximum prices up to ₹1,400 per quintal.

In Rajasthan, Sujangarh recorded strong demand with rates ranging from ₹1,300 to ₹1,500 per quintal. In Udaipur, prices stayed between ₹800 and ₹1,200 per quintal despite heavy arrivals. Jaisalmer and Bayana saw stable, moderate prices with no major fluctuations.

Important Suggestions for Farmers

1. Manage Stock Wisely: In markets with heavy arrivals (like Delhi), holding the produce for 3–5 days may result in better prices.
2. Focus on Grading: Well-graded Jyoti potatoes continue to fetch strong rates in Bihar. Good grading is the simplest way to increase profit.
3. Choose the Right Mandi: Sometimes travelling 40–50 km to a better-paying mandi can be more profitable than selling in the nearest market.
4. Consider Short-Term Storage: In regions where prices are currently low (₹300–800), storing potatoes and selling after 2–3 weeks may give significantly better returns.
