Potato prices moved down by Rs 4.40 to Rs 580.60 a quintal in futures trade today due to reduced offtake by traders against increased arrivals from the producing belts.
At the Multi Commodity exchange, potato for delivery in May shed Rs 4.40 or 0.75 per cent to Rs 580.60 a quintal, with a business turnover of a single lot.
Similarly, the commodity for delivery in April declined by Rs 3.10 or 0.50 per cent to Rs 612.40 a quintal, with an open interest of just one lot.
