The Right Way to Sell Produce — For Farmers
The old mandi rule — 'don't sell everything at once'. Despite today's ₹7,075, sell in 2-3 instalments. This also lets you benefit from any further rally ahead.
For Buyers — Market Conditions
From a procurement view, today's trade is healthy. A narrow gap between the average (₹7,040) and the max (₹7,075) points to a well-supplied environment. Plan large buys around weather and arrivals at other mandis.
