Abstract

In Farrukhabad district the potato producers have a relatively big agribusiness commodity system of potato. The problems of the producers centre around the input supply, potato storage and marketing. The inputs distribution channels are to be streamlined. Though markets in the district are regulated by government, still the producers are being exploited by the traders. The district has large cold storage capacity but looking to the level of potato production, it is not adequate. Producers also suffer from wide price fluctuations.
