Smart Selling — A Farmer's Guide
Farmers, seeing today's high of ₹11,198, don't sell your entire crop at once. If this price gives a good margin over your cost and arrivals are normal, selling in small lots is the wisest approach.
Market View for Traders
Commercially, today's Masur Dal tone (an upward) suggests moving ahead carefully. Before buying large lots, factor in transport cost and storage — that's the real balance for margins.
