Advice for Farmers:

1. Farmers should not select a mandi based only on the highest reported maximum price. Before selling, compare the latest mandi prices, arrivals and the quality of your mustard across nearby markets.
2. A wide gap between the minimum and maximum price can also indicate that the price received may vary according to the quality of the produce and the prevailing auction conditions. Therefore, farmers should check the actual price being offered for their quality of mustard.
3. Transportation costs should also be included when comparing markets. A mandi offering a higher maximum rate may not necessarily be more profitable if the additional transportation expense is high. The final selling decision should be based on the expected price, crop quality, market conditions and total transportation cost.
