Potato prices weakened by Rs 4 to Rs 484 per quintal in futures trade today as speculators off-loaded their positions, driven by subdued spot demand.
Adequate stocks in the physical market following increased arrivals from the producing regions also put pressure on the potato prices.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, potato for delivery in July weakened by Rs 4, or 0.82%, to Rs 484, with a business turnover of 105 lots.
The August contract shed Rs 2.40, or 0.53%, to Rs 448.60, with an open interest of 39 lots.
Traders said fall in potato futures prices was mainly due to off-loading of positions by speculators amid increased arrivals from producing region.
