Potato prices showed a wide variation across different markets on (August 27, 2026). According to the latest mandi price data, Noida Market in Uttar Pradesh recorded the highest maximum price of ₹1,843.89 per quintal, while Delhi's Azadpur Market recorded a maximum price of ₹1,800 per quintal.
A notable difference can be seen in arrivals. Noida received only 9.39 tonnes of potatoes, whereas Azadpur recorded 1,831.30 tonnes, the highest arrival among the listed markets. Despite the much lower arrival in Noida, its maximum price was higher than that of Azadpur.
Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly Market also recorded a relatively stronger maximum price of ₹1,555.33 per quintal. Meanwhile, Agra and Tundla received more than 1,500 tonnes each, but their maximum prices remained at ₹1,100 and ₹500 per quintal, respectively.
These figures indicate that potato prices are not determined by arrivals alone. Local demand, crop quality and market bidding can also influence the rate. Farmers should therefore compare prices and arrivals across markets before deciding where to sell their produce.
