As temperatures continue to rise, the cucumber market prices has also heated up across major mandis. Today’s mandi report shows significant fluctuations in prices. In some markets, cucumbers were sold for as low as ₹300–₹400 per quintal, while in several mandis the latest market price touched ₹2,000 per quintal.
So why are some farmers receiving low prices while others are earning impressive profits on the same day?
The latest mandi data from 16 May 2026 clearly shows that cucumber prices are currently driven by three major factors arrivals (supply), quality, and market demand. Markets receiving heavy quantities of average-quality produce are facing price pressure, while fresh, shiny, and premium-quality cucumbers are attracting higher bids from traders.
Despite heavy arrivals in Delhi’s wholesale vegetable markets, demand remained strong enough to prevent prices from collapsing completely. At the same time, several smaller mandis in Madhya Pradesh recorded strong prices due to limited supply and better-quality produce.
