Today is proving to be a golden opportunity for farmers selling Tur (Arhar) dal. On June 19, 2025, major agricultural markets across India witnessed a sharp spike in tur dal prices. Mumbai mandi in Maharashtra reported a record-breaking maximum price of ₹11,500 per quintal — the highest this season so far.

Meanwhile, in Uttar Pradesh, mandis like Dadri, Pratapgarh, and Puwaha also saw prices touch or cross ₹11,000 per quintal. This unexpected surge has brought new hope to farmers across the region.

Why are prices rising?

Low arrivals and strong demand are driving prices upward. With less stock in the market and increased buyer activity, farmers are finally securing better returns on their produce.
