About 10-15 per cent of still-to-be harvested potato crop is feared to have been damaged due to unseasonal rains accompanied by strong winds lashing the northern region, Punjab potato growers said on Tuesday. Punjab is a major grower of seed potato crop and has almost five to seven per cent share in country`s total potato production. According to potato growers, about 60 per cent of total area under tuber in Punjab is yet to be harvested where the crop damage could be maximum.
