The intense cold wave in Punjab has resulted in the potato crop not growing over the past several days.
The size of the crop, which must increase every day before harvesting begins around January 20, has not increased even one per cent, according to farmers.
With this, there is now a fear of lower production of potatoes this year. Following three bumper crops in a row and no demand from states, this year the area under potato cultivation decreased by around 15 per cent.
