Potato prices fell by Rs 10.30 to Rs 448.20 per quintal in futures trade today, as speculators reduced their positions, driven by less offtake in the spot market.
Adequate stocks position following increased arrivals from the producing regions in physical markets also weighed on the prices.
At the Multi Commodity exchange, potato for October contract fell by Rs 10.30, or 2.24% to Rs 448.20 per quintal, with a business volume of 998 lots.
March delivery contract also declined by Rs 3.70, or 0.57% to Rs 637 per quintal with a business turnover of 27 lots.
Continued fall in potato prices was due to offloading of positions by speculators, driven by subdued demand in the spot market, traders said.
