Advice for Farmers:

1. Before selling onions, farmers should check the latest mandi prices as well as the quantity of produce arriving at each market. Solapur recorded the highest maximum price on 19 October, but its minimum price was also considerably lower. Therefore, do not base your selling decision on the maximum price alone.
2. Consider the quality, size and variety of your onions, along with current demand and transportation expenses. If another mandi is offering a better rate, calculate the cost of transporting your produce there before making a decision.
3. Comparing prices across nearby mandis can help farmers identify a suitable market for their crop. The most beneficial option is not necessarily the mandi reporting the highest rate, but the one where the price received after transportation and other selling expenses works best for the farmer.
