Hold Stock Where Arrivals Are Heavy: Farmers in areas like Surat, Etawah, and Rajkot should consider storing potatoes, as current prices are suppressed.
Sell Immediately in High-Price Mandis: Farmers in Hansi, Kamthi, and Maigalganj can sell now for strong profits.
Festive Season Strategy: With demand likely to rise during the festive season, farmers should sell part of their stock now and keep some for later.
Leverage Storage Facilities: Farmers with cold storage access can hold potatoes safely for higher future returns.
