In comparison, Haryana's Rewari Market, despite receiving a heavy arrival of 148.7 tonnes, recorded a maximum price of ₹8,170 per quintal.

Arrival and Price Comparison:

The Mumbai Market recorded the highest maximum mustard price in today's data at ₹11,000 per quintal. However, arrivals there were limited to just 2 tonnes. In contrast, Haryana's Rewari Market recorded the highest arrival at 148.7 tonnes, with a maximum price of ₹8,170 per quintal.

Uttar Pradesh, Sitapur Market received 73.75 tonnes of mustard, while Auraiya Market recorded arrivals of 52.36 tonnes. Their maximum prices were ₹8,000 and ₹7,500 per quintal, respectively.

The data shows a clear difference between arrivals and prices across markets. A high price recorded in a market with limited arrivals does not necessarily mean that every farmer will receive the same rate for their produce.

The Mustard MSP is ₹6,200 per quintal. Several markets recorded prices above this level, while some markets reported prices below the MSP.

Advice for Farmers:

1. Check the latest minimum and maximum mustard prices in nearby markets before selling your crop.
2. Consider crop quality, market arrivals and the prevailing price together rather than focusing only on the highest reported rate.
3. A high price in a market with very low arrivals may not be available to every farmer at the same level.
4. If there is a significant price difference between nearby markets, compare the expected selling price with transportation and other marketing costs.
5. Choose the market only after considering the likely net return from your produce.
