Methodology and computation-
• Potato year is taken as Oct-Nov, as fresh arrivals starts from Punjab in Nov
• Total production for 2018-19 is estimated to be approximately 52.30 million tons compared to last year 50.70 million tons
• Annual Post-harvest losses aretaken to be 8-10%.
• Potato processing industry growing at CAGR 5-6%. In 2018-19 we are expecting average processing.
• Annual consumption figure is almost 34 million tons. As per NSSO consumption survey in 2011, per capita consumption of Potato in India was 1.85 Kg/month. Over this,simple growth rate of 5% is applied to factor in the change in consumption habits over 2011 in last five years. With population of 1.34 billion (in 2018), total annual consumption in 2016-17 is estimated to be 34 million tons.
• Quarterly consumption of potato varies between 8-9 million tons based on availability and Prices.
• 60-70% of Rabi production goes to store which mainly harvested in March and April.
• Kharif potato arrivals starts from Aug. Kharif potato production share is 10-15%
