Abstract:
The present study was undertaken to analyse the behaviour of arrivals of potato and to find out the nature of relationship between arrivals in Faizabad, Azamgarh, Gorakhpur and Varanasi markets of Uttar Pradesh. The variations in potato arrivals are mostly caused by these factors, whose magnitudes vary evenly and often. According to the study, potato arrivals peaked in April after beginning at the end of December. A little under half of the potato harvest was marketed from December to March. It was discovered during a market research in Varanasi that potatoes began to arrive at the end of December. The months of December-January (10.99) to April saw the highest concentration of arrivals. There were 10.45%, 8.62%, and 9.85% of these arrivals in the months of January, March, and April, respectively. This makes gluts of produce during these periods in the market which resulted in low prices in these months.
