India: Punjab Sets 15 October Planting and 31 December Haulm-Cutting Deadlines for Seed Potatoes
A fixed calendar trades seed yield for lower virus risk in a key Indian seed-producing state

Arkhangelsk region has harvested about 13,700 tonnes of potatoes, 57.2% of the plan, at 171 c/ha; the region spends 17.5 million roubles on potato and vegetable support.
For farmers: Northern growers: plan storage and seed investments around regional support lines for elite seed and stores; finish digging before late-October frost.
For traders: About 43% of the planned Arkhangelsk volume was still in the field at end-September; confirm local volumes in October before winter contracts.
