Farmers dealing in okra (bhindi) have witnessed highly volatile market trends on June 23, 2026, as fresh mandi data from across India revealed a wide gap in prices. In some markets, okra was sold as low as ₹500 per quintal, while in premium quality and low-arrival markets, prices surged up to ₹7,000 per quintal.
This sharp variation clearly indicates that both timing and market selection play a crucial role in determining farmers’ income. Limited arrivals and consistent demand for fresh, high-quality produce have supported strong price levels in several regions.
The most significant highlight of the day came from Pune (Manjri) Market Okra Price, where rates touched a maximum of ₹7,000 per quintal, making it the highest reported price across all major mandis.
Maharashtra continued to dominate the okra trade, with large arrivals reported in Pune APMC and nearby sub-markets such as Manjri, Moshi, and Keshopur. Despite heavy arrivals, strong demand ensured stable and attractive price levels in several markets.
