Despite the widespread consensus that neoliberal India is reeling under an overarching agrarian crisis, this article argues that at least some capitalist farmers are continuing to accumulate and are thereby contributing to the process of class differentiation. Through a study of potato‐growing capitalist farmers in Punjab, the archetypal Green Revolution state of India, the author shows that such farmers can navigate complex production and market processes to make profits. However, risks of volatile prices and land and credit markets have made capital accumulation more uncertain. While potato is a minor crop in Punjab and the case cannot be generalized, it brings into focus both under‐explored non‐state actors and processes in the state, and important tendencies of change since the plateauing of Green Revolution technologies. The analysis also highlights the agency of such farmers in negotiating a transformed political economy context, including the presence of corporate agribusinesses.

赌土豆：印度旁遮普邦农业危机时期的积累

尽管人们普遍认为新自由主义印度将在一场全面的农业危机中卷土重来，但本文认为至少有一些资本主义农民正在不断积累，从而为阶级分化进程做出了贡献。通过对典型的印度绿色革命国家旁遮普邦种植马铃薯的资本主义农民的研究，作者表明，这些农民可以驾驭复杂的生产和市场过程来获利。但是，价格波动以及土地和信贷市场的风险使资本积累更加不确定。尽管马铃薯在旁遮普邦是一种次要作物，而且无法推广，但它引起了人们的关注，既未充分探索的非国家行为者和该州的流程，也包括自绿色革命技术停滞以来的重要变化趋势。
