When considering about the descriptive statistics of local potato market through selected clusters,
Pollgolla COOP CITY had higher mean quantity (1.025kg) and minimum value obtained as around
0.8317kg in Chilaw COOP CITY. According to mean price index, Pollgolla had higher price index (148.90)
and Kegalle obtained the value as around 119.44 respectively. There was higher quantity difference
between mean and median in Chilaw COOP CITY as value around 0.2817kg. So there would be a higher
chance to skew Chilaw Coop City potato quantity data to right direction and this assumption was
accepted by obtaining the positive value for skewness as value around 3.324kg to quantity category in
Chilaw COOP CITY.

However, there was an unexpected higher amount of price index variance for Kegalle local potatoes as
around 315.401value. The factor would be that there would be a dependency between potato suppliers
and potato quality in Kegalle COOP CITY when compared to price indexes. It was acceptable by
considering corresponded high price index range value as around 51.35. But Pollgolla had higher price
index range value as around 62.88 with low price index variance value as around 24.513. So there’s a
suspect that Pollgolla had increasing trend price index with low fluctuations or had some higher out
liers. Zero inter quartile range value stated that most of price values would fit with some point values
respectively. Finally in quantity index, Kegalle obtained higher kurtosis value as around 25.292 and when
considering price index, Pollgolla became leaded kurtosis value as around 85.557. It expressed us that
there would be higher peaked value due to extreme points in Pollgolla COOP CITY.
