India’s Potato Sector Shows Strong Growth in 2024–25:
India’s potato industry continues its upward trajectory, according to the Third Advance Estimates for Horticulture Crops released on 25 November 2025 by the Department of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare. Potato production for 2024–25 is estimated at 58.108 million tonnes, marking a 1.85% increase from the previous year. Although this figure is slightly lower than the second advance estimate of 60.175 million tonnes, it reflects refined state-level data.
Overall horticulture output reached 369.05 million tonnes, driven notably by vegetables, which saw 4% year-on-year growth. Factors supporting this progress include high-quality seeds, modern farming tools, improved market infrastructure, and policy support.
A key trend is the rapid rise in processed potatoes, with Gujarat leading production, and exports of granules and pellets soaring to USD 63.3 million in 2024–25. With expanding cultivation area and strong demand, the sector is positioned for continued growth, especially in value-added processing and exports.
