Shaktiman-Grimme to Host “Potato Field Day 2026” in Ludhiana. The potato landscape of Punjab is on the cusp of a mechanical revolution. On January 28, 2026, the fields of B J Farms in Saraba Village, Ludhiana, will transform into a live classroom for the next generation of potato farming. Shaktiman-Grimme, in collaboration with New Holland, has announced its much-anticipated Potato Field Day 2026, an event dedicated to showcasing high-tech, customized solutions for potato farming. For the potato growers of not only in Punjab but across the country, this event represents more than just a machinery display; it is a roadmap to “Making Potato Farming More Economical“—the core mission that drives this Indo-German partnership. A Synergy of Global Excellence and Local Expertise The Potato Field Day 2026 is the result of a strategic joint venture between two industry giants: Shaktiman (Tirth Agro Technology Pvt. Ltd.), India’s leading manufacturer of agricultural implements, and Grimme, the German world leader in potato and root crop technology. Link Formed in 2019, this 50:50 joint venture has focused on bridging the gap in farm mechanization for root crops in India. By combining German precision engineering with Shaktiman’s deep understanding of Indian soil conditions, the partnership has produced machines that are not only efficient but also affordable for the Indian potato farmer. Live Demonstrations: The Heart of the Field Day The highlight of the event at B J Farms will be the live field demonstrations. Unlike a static showroom, the Potato Field Day allows farmers to witness machines performing in real-time soil conditions. 1. Precision Planting with the SGPP-205 Traditional potato planting is labor-intensive and often leads to uneven spacing, which affects yield quality. The Shaktiman-Grimme Potato Planter (SGPP-205) will be a star attraction. It features: Uniform Depth & Distance: Mechanical or electronic vibrators ensure no “doubles” or “misses” during planting. Adjustable Row Width: Tailored for Indian farm sizes, ranging from 66 cm to 90 cm. Yield Boost: Precision planting can increase crop yields by 10-12% while saving up to two bags of seed per acre. 2. High-Performance Harvesting with the SGPH-200 Harvesting is the most critical and expensive phase of the potato cycle. The SGPH-200 Potato Harvester is designed to replace hundreds of manual laborers with a single operator. Crop Protection: Gentle transport systems ensure that the potatoes are lifted without bruising or skinning. Dual-Row Efficiency: Capable of harvesting two rows simultaneously, even in difficult soil conditions. Steerable Wheels: With a turning radius of just 5.2 meters, it is perfectly adapted for the smaller field sizes typical of Punjab and India. 3. Soil Preparation and Vine Management Attendees will also see the Deep Hiller (SGDH-200) in action, which creates the ideal clod-free seedbed essential for root growth. Additionally, the Plant Topper will demonstrate how to efficiently cut potato vines (haulms) before harvesting to ensure the potato skin hardens, improving the crop’s shelf life. Link Why 2026 Should Be the Year of Potato Farming Mechanization The timing of this Field Day is crucial. Farmers in Punjab and India are currently facing a “triple threat”: rising labor costs, a shrinking window of time due to climate unpredictability, and the need for higher quality “processing-grade” potatoes for the snack food industry. Mechanization solves these challenges by: Reducing Labor Dependency: Automating the planting and harvesting process removes the volatility of labor availability. Precision Farming: Modern machines ensure that fertilizers and seeds are used optimally, reducing waste and lowering the cost of production. Market Competitiveness: Potatoes harvested mechanically are cleaner and more uniform, making them more attractive to exporters and processing units (like chips and French fry manufacturers). Collaborative Strength: Shaktiman & New Holland The presence of New Holland at the event exemplifies the importance of tractor-implement compatibility. Most of the Shaktiman-Grimme range is designed to work seamlessly with tractors in the 50 HP to 75 HP range. By showcasing these machines alongside New Holland’s robust tractor lineup, farmers can see a “complete package” solution for their farm. Event Details & Invitation Shaktiman-Grimme cordially invites all progressive farmers, agricultural researchers, and industry stakeholders to join this landmark event.

An Analysis of Potato Exports to Nepal (2024-2025). The global potato trade is often dominated by narratives surrounding major processing nations like Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United States. However, a significant and consistent trade dynamic exists in South Asia, specifically between the potato powerhouse of India and its mountainous neighbor, Nepal. While Nepal is a substantial producer of potatoes in its own right, it remains heavily reliant on imports to meet domestic consumption needs. Based on trade data from late 2024 through late 2025, Nepal has solidified its position as the primary destination for Indian fresh potatoes, providing a stabilizing force for Indian exporters amidst fluctuating demand from other global regions. Domestic Production Context To understand the export market, one must first look at Nepal’s domestic capacity. Nepal is a significant player in the global potato sector. In 2023, the country produced 3.48 million tonnes of potatoes. This marked a steady increase in production capabilities, representing a 2.3% increase over 2022 levels, and a continuation of growth from 2.69 million tonnes in 2017. The scale of Nepal’s production is impressive given its topography. As the location of the highest point in the world, Nepal’s ability to grow nearly 3.5 million tonnes of tubers highlights the crop’s resilience and importance to the local diet. The land area dedicated to potato cultivation in Nepal has also seen expansion. By 2023, the harvested area had reached approximately 211,505 hectares, an increase of 3.8% from the previous year. Despite this robust domestic output, the consumption demands of the population exceed local supply, necessitating substantial imports. This deficit creates a vital trade corridor, primarily supplied by India, the world’s second-largest potato producer. The India-Nepal Trade Corridor: A Year in Review Throughout the 2024 and 2025 calendar years, Nepal consistently appeared as the top destination for Indian fresh (ware) potatoes. While Indian exporters successfully diversified into the Middle East and Southeast Asia for frozen products, the fresh trade remained regionally focused, with Nepal acting as the anchor market. Late 2024: The Anchor Market By the end of 2024, the reliance on the Nepalese market was evident. In the 12 months ending November 2024, India exported 219,711 tonnes of fresh potatoes to Nepal. Although this represented a 16.5% decrease compared to the previous year, Nepal remained the largest single market for Indian tubers. In November 2024 alone, exports to Nepal stood at 28,818 tonnes, a figure almost identical to the same month in the previous year, indicating a stable, baseline demand that persists regardless of broader market volatility. Early 2025: A Strong Start As the calendar turned to 2025, the trade volume surged. In January 2025, Indian exports to Nepal reached 15,559 tonnes. This was a significant 53.3% increase compared to January 2024. This surge occurred even as Indian exports to other neighbors faced challenges; for example, exports to Bangladesh were nonexistent in the same month. This highlighted Nepal’s role as a reliable partner during periods when other regional markets might be inaccessible or fluctuating. By March 2025, the trade momentum continued. Nepal imported 9,022 tonnes of Indian potatoes, a 12.4% increase compared to March 2024. At this stage in the season, cumulative 12-month exports to Nepal stood at 238,198 tonnes, maintaining a consistent level with the previous year’s 236,881 tonnes. Spring 2025: Seasonal Adjustments and Price Pressures The second quarter of 2025 saw a temporary contraction in trade volumes, likely influenced by seasonal harvest patterns and rising export prices. In April 2025, exports to Nepal dipped to 7,445 tonnes, a 23.7% decrease compared to April 2024. Despite the drop in volume, Nepal retained its position as the top destination. This period coincided with rising prices for Indian potatoes. The average export price to Nepal in April 2025 was ₹13,161 per tonne (approximately US$154), which was 10.8% higher than the price a year prior. The downward trend in volume continued into May 2025. Exports dropped to 5,749 tonnes, a sharp 49.3% decline compared to the 11,334 tonnes shipped in May 2024. This reduction occurred within the context of a general slowdown in Indian ware exports, which fell 4.9% overall in the 12 months leading to June 2025. However, even with reduced volumes, Nepal accounted for nearly half (47.2%) of all Indian ware exports over the 12 months ending in May, totaling 230,294 tonnes. This statistic underscores that even when trade slows, the Nepalese market remains the backbone of the Indian fresh potato export sector. Summer 2025: Recovery and Dominance The market rebounded strongly as the year progressed into the summer. July 2025 marked a significant recovery. Exports to Nepal climbed to 15,026 tonnes, accounting for 42% of India’s total ware exports for the month. While this specific monthly figure was slightly lower (-2.5%) than July 2024, it signaled a return to high-volume trade. By September 2025, Nepal was absorbing massive quantities of Indian product. Exports for the month hit 32,651 tonnes. Although this was a slight 4.0% decrease from the high bar set in September 2023, it reinforced the critical nature of this trade route. For the 12 months ending September 2025, total exports to Nepal stabilized at 228,511 tonnes, virtually unchanged (+0.1%) from the previous year. Price Sensitivity and Market Dynamics The flow of potatoes into Nepal is sensitive to price fluctuations, though the essential nature of the commodity ensures that trade never halts completely. Throughout 2025, Indian export prices saw an upward trajectory before stabilizing. In April 2025, the price for exports to Nepal was ₹13,161/tonne. As the year progressed, prices moderated. By July 2025, the export price to Nepal was recorded at ₹11,980/tonne (approx. US$135). This was a slight increase of ₹340 from June, yet Nepal continued to import over 15,000 tonnes, demonstrating that demand is relatively inelastic within a certain price band. By September 2025, the price had adjusted further to ₹11,804/tonne (approx. US$132). This stabilization in price likely supported the high volumes observed in the latter half of the year. Comparative Importance of the Nepalese Market To fully appreciate the importance of the potato trade with Nepal, it must be viewed in contrast to India’s other export destinations. Reliability vs. Volatility: While Nepal provided a steady stream of orders throughout 2024 and 2025, other markets proved volatile. Bangladesh, previously a major buyer, completely ceased imports in months like May and September 2025. In contrast, Nepal consistently absorbed between 5,000 and 32,000 tonnes per month depending on the season. Volume vs. Value: While markets in the Gulf (Oman, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait) pay significantly higher prices per tonne—often double or triple the price paid by Nepal—they purchase much smaller volumes. For example, in July 2025, while Nepal bought over 15,000 tonnes at ₹11,980/tonne, Kuwait bought 2,014 tonnes at ₹25,274/tonne. Nepal acts as the volume driver, clearing large quantities of stock, while the Gulf markets serve as high-value destinations. Market Share: By late 2025, Nepal accounted for nearly half of all Indian fresh potato sales. In the year ending May 2025, Nepal took 230,294 tonnes out of a total 487,552 tonnes exported by India. Summary The data from the 2024-2025 period illustrates a symbiotic relationship between Indian potato producers and Nepalese consumers. Nepal, despite achieving record domestic production of nearly 3.5 million tonnes, relies on imports to bridge the gap between supply and demand. For India, Nepal serves as an indispensable outlet for its fresh potato crop. While the Indian industry successfully pursued high-value frozen fry markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, the fresh potato trade remained firmly anchored in the Himalayas. With annual volumes holding steady around 228,000 to 230,000 tonnes despite price fluctuations and seasonal variations, the export line to Nepal remains the most critical artery for India’s table potato sector. As India continues to produce bumper crops—surpassing 60 million tonnes in 2025—the stability of the Nepalese market will remain essential for managing supply and maintaining price equilibrium for Indian farmers.

The Story of McPatel Foods: A Partnership Forged in Europe. McPatel Foods emerged in 2023 from a shared vision among four founders aimed at revolutionizing the frozen food sector within the Indian market. The company’s vision, conceived collectively by the four directors and founders—Karan Sarodia, Aditya Patel, Kirit Haraniya, and Jignesh Patel—was explicitly defined to provide the best quality products to Indian customers while simultaneously focusing on the export market. The company established its operations specifically focusing on frozen French fries. The creation of McPatel Foods was the result of a singular, impactful trip undertaken by the four directors. They were already acquainted, coming from different industries. This pivotal moment occurred when they all attended the Anuga Europe trade fair, in late 2023, with the intention of exploring the frozen food market. It was during this exploration that the idea for McPatel Foods was conceived, leading to the birth of the company. Founders attribute the company’s existence directly to this journey, stating that if the Anuga trip had not happened, the company likely would not be where it is today. Following the trip, the founders collectively decided to establish the company and introduce their brand for processed potato products to the market. Corporate Identity and Director Insight The name “Mc Patel” itself reflects a core aspect of the company’s identity, as the founders “belong to the Patel family”. The directors, whose home state is Gujarat, leverage their local heritage and connections. Their background allows them to have a strong “connect and reach with the farmers and with everyone”. The directors are not only founders but are deeply invested in the operational side, particularly concerning raw material sourcing and farming relationships. Vision, Implementation, and Rapid Growth Despite being a young company, McPatel demonstrated rapid execution, a hallmark of their early operations. With a strong vision, the company initiated its production facility within a year of its inception, ensuring the facility was equipped with “all the best-in-class machineries”. They successfully launched both domestic and export sales within the year of starting production. The current production facility demonstrates a significant capacity even in its initial phase. The facility currently utilizes raw potatoes at a rate of 10 to 12 tons per hour. This raw material consumption translates into finished goods output of 5 tons per hour of frozen French fries. Additionally, recognizing the complementary nature of potato processing, McPatel also established a line for dehydrated potato flakes, currently running at a capacity of 500 kg per hour. Deep Commitment to Contract Farming A critical element of McPatel’s operation and philosophy is its integrated approach to raw material sourcing, centred on contract farming. Given that the founders belong to the Patel family and are closely connected to the farming community, this relationship is foundational. McPatel actively engages in contract farming with producers in Gujarat and neighbouring states. This partnership goes beyond simple purchasing; the company provides significant support to the farmers. Specifically, McPatel helps farmers grow by supplying essential raw materials, such as the specialized potato seeds needed for processing. Furthermore, the company aids them with knowledge regarding plantations and farming techniques. The commitment is cemented by a buy-back agreement, where McPatel purchases the raw potatoes produced under these contracts for use in their factories. This strategy ensures a consistent, high-quality supply of potatoes necessary for best-in-class frozen products. The company has emphasized its plan to “grow with our farmers”. Ambitious Future Expansion Plans McPatel Foods has laid out highly ambitious expansion goals slated for implementation within the coming three years. This expansion is multifaceted, targeting increased raw material handling, greater output of existing products, and diversification into new product lines. The planned expansion will dramatically increase the raw potato processing capability. The current consumption of 10 to 12 tons of raw material per hour is intended to expand substantially, reaching a future capacity of 40 to 50 tons of raw material (potatoes) per hour. In terms of finished goods, the frozen French fries line will see a major upgrade. An additional production line is planned, which will add approximately 20 tons per hour of capacity for frozen French fries. Complementing this, the dehydrated potato flake line is also set for expansion, targeting an increased capacity up to 1.2 tons per hour. Significantly, the expansion includes diversification into specialized products. The company plans to introduce a potato speciality line, which will include products such as hash browns, burger patties , aloo Tikki, and other potato speciality products. This comprehensive expansion plan, projected to be completed within two years, underlines McPatel’s commitment to capturing a larger share of the developing Indian frozen food market.
