Stay updated with the latest potato prices, historical data, and tailored regional analysis
In India, the monthly average Potato price was around INR 22.84/kg in April and around INR 24.11/kg in the subsequent month, showing an increase of ~5.6%. Similarly, in China, the monthly average Potato price was about RMB 1.62/kg in April and around RMB 1.69/kg in June, showing an increase of ~4.3%. Prices strengthened as arrivals remained steady, but quality variations from weather impacted marketable supply, while stable domestic consumption in fresh and processed segments supported firm buying activity. In the United States, the monthly average Potato price was around USD 239.85/MT in April and showed some positive movement supported by stability in processing requirements for frozen potatoes, whereas sufficient storage capacity ensured that prices did not show extreme volatility despite overall global supply variability. Meanwhile, in Germany, the monthly average Potato price was ~EUR 0.21/kg in April and around EUR 0.22/kg in the subsequent month, showing an increase of ~5.0%. Price increased as the European market was oversupplied structurally owing to larger plantings of EU-4 potatoes coupled with high contracted coverage levels.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, potato prices are expected to remain mildly firm with regional variations, as weather impacts and processing demand offset supply pressure from high European stocks.

Potato prices in Q1 2026 reflected a fundamentally oversupplied yet structurally stressed market. In India, West Bengal’s exceptionally strong harvest and yields above ~30 tonnes per hectare sharply increased market arrivals, pushing farmgate prices down to nearly INR 6/kg even as retail prices in Kolkata stayed around ~INR 14–17/kg, highlighting severe supply-chain dislocation and weak producer realization. At the same time, Uttar Pradesh growers reported production costs above ~INR 10/kg versus mandi prices near ~INR 8/kg, with cold storage charges lifting delivered economics materially higher and worsening distress sales. Across Europe, the market remained in rebalancing mode after the 2025/26 oversupply cycle, as growers and processors reassessed acreage and free-buy exposure. Dutch industry cost estimates showed 2026 production economics easing only marginally, while storage costs remained significantly elevated and labour expenses continued to rise, limiting room for lower contract prices. Meanwhile, the broader potato complex also faced trade and input uncertainty, particularly around fertilizer, logistics, and export access, which kept supplier sentiment cautious despite abundant physical availability.
Potato is basically a root vegetable native to America. It is a starchy tuber of the plant Solanum tuberosum, and the plant itself is known to belong to a perennial in the family Solanaceae. Potato plants are herbaceous perennials which can grow about 60 cm (24 in) high, depending on the variety.
