The production of Potato is estimated at 42.47 million tonnes (MT) this year, a jump of 7% on account of increased crop output in the state of Madhya Pradesh. In 2011-12 crop year (July-June) period, the production of Potato stood at 41.48 MT. Much of the production increase is seen in major growing states like Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat.

The production in the state of Uttar Pradesh, the country’s largest potato producer, is estimated to increase to 14.69 MT in 2012-13 from 14.12 MT in the year-ago period, according to the Agriculture Ministry's first estimate. According, the state of West Bengal is estimated to harvest 9.69 MT of potato, Bihar (6.3 MT), Gujarat (2.39 MT) and Punjab (2.12 MT) this year.

Besides, the production in West Bengal and Gujarat is expected to remain at last year’s level. There would also be a marginal jump in the output in Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Punjab in 2012-13.

In order to procure farm items including potato, the Centre implements market intervention scheme upon receipt of proposals from the state governments. Under this scheme, in case of any losses, the same are shared between the centre and states on 50:50 basis.
