New Delhi, Oct 5 (TIWN) Decreased supplies of potatoes for the past many months at the Azadpur fruits and vegetable market here and an increased demand in the coming Navratri festive season are expected to keep the prices of the humble staple on the higher side in the near future.
Increased prices in the coming weeks are thus sure to leave a bitter aftertaste in the mouths of consumers, particularly those from the weaker sections who consume potatoes more when the other vegetables are costlier and hence beyond their reach. Similarly, those consuming potatoes during fasts on Navratri days will also bear the brunt of the higher prices.
