Expert Advice for Farmers:

High-arrival zones (Samsabad, Baberala, Surat) – Markets are under pressure. Farmers may hold back a portion of stock for 7–10 days to get better rates.
Good-selling mandis (Haryana, Punjab, MP) – Prices are strong; selling now could bring good profits.
Farmers with storage facilities – Can safely store potatoes for the next 15–20 days, as prices may improve with festival season demand.
Quality matters – Clean, sorted potatoes fetch higher market prices; focus on proper grading before selling.
