The old mandi rule — 'don't sell everything at once'. Despite today's ₹2,600, sell in 2-3 instalments. This also lets you benefit from any further rally ahead.
Market View for Traders
From a procurement view, today's trade is healthy. A narrow gap between the average (₹2,238) and the max (₹2,600) points to a well-supplied environment. Plan large buys around weather and arrivals at other mandis.
