Facing a glut of potatoes owing to two bumper crops in Punjab and neighbouring states, the farmers here, not being able to find buyers or good rates, have started dumping their crop by the side of the roads.
With their produce getting just Rs 1.5 per kg to Rs 3 per kg, farmers have been forced either to go for distress sale of the crop, or feed the potatoes lying in the cold storage to the cattle. .
