Advice for Farmers:

1. Farmers preparing to sell garlic should compare the latest mandi prices and arrival figures in nearby markets before transporting their produce. The October 19 data shows relatively high maximum prices in Khanpur, Amravati, Nagpur and Bhilwara, but the difference between minimum and maximum rates varies considerably from one market to another.
2. Choosing a mandi based only on its highest quoted price may not always result in better earnings. Garlic quality, bulb size, grading, market distance and transportation expenses can all affect the final amount a farmer receives.
3. Particular attention should be paid to markets such as Khanpur, where the minimum price was ₹3,000 and the maximum reached ₹23,600 per quintal. Farmers should check the prevailing rates for garlic of similar quality and grade rather than assuming that the highest reported price will apply to every lot.
4. Before making a selling decision, farmers should compare nearby market options, assess the condition of their produce and calculate transportation costs. This can help them select a suitable mandi while avoiding unnecessary expenses.
