Commodity prices


Potato prices have crashed in the past year. High inventory on the back of overproduction last season has pulled prices lower. In Chennai, potatoes are currently sold at ₹24 per kg, down 40 per cent from ₹40 per kg at which they sold last year. The prices are also down about 14 per cent from ₹28 per kg last week

Here are the prices of various commodities in Chennai.
