Why Potato prices vary across Jharkhand

Main harvest Jan–Mar; cold-storage stock is released through the year. Local arrivals, transport distance from producing belts (Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Bihar and Punjab) and variety mix all move the rate between mandis, which is why the range above spans ₹500 to ₹1,500.
