The Right Way to Sell Produce — For Farmers
Farmers, seeing today's high of ₹14,667, 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.
For Buyers — Market Conditions
Commission agents and traders, note — today Orange shows prices are moving within a range, with no major swing. Volatility is in the 'low risk' band, so there's little need to hesitate on stock, but do compare nearby mandi rates.
