Farmers, if you are planning to sell your mustard crop or waiting for the right price, today’s mandi update is very important for you. On 21 March 2026, mustard prices across major markets in India showed mixed trends. In some mandis, due to good quality and low arrivals, prices reached up to ₹7,000 per quintal, while in other markets, heavy supply pushed rates below the MSP of ₹6,200 per quintal.
