NEW DELHI, Nov 13: Potato futures prices fell by Rs 5.90 to Rs 891 per quintal today as speculators offloaded their positions, driven by weak trend in the spot market.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, potato for April contract fell by Rs 5.90, or 0.65 per cent, to Rs 891 per quintal, with a business volume of 10 lots.
The potato for delivery in March declined by Rs 5, or 0.54 per cent, to Rs 918.50 per quintal in 42 lots.
Marketmen said fall in potato prices was mostly due to stockists offloading positions in line with subdued demand in the spot market.
Besides, increased supplies in the spot market from producing regions further pulled down the prices. (PTI)
