Farmers should take a pause before selling onions, as the market is currently showing two very different trends. According to today’s mandi update, prices in some markets have dropped as low as ₹300 per quintal, while in others, onions are fetching up to ₹2,500 per quintal, offering strong profit opportunities.
As per the latest report dated 05 May 2026, onion prices are heavily influenced by arrivals (supply), quality, and location. Markets receiving large quantities are witnessing price pressure, whereas mandis with limited arrivals and better-quality produce are offering higher rates.
This clearly indicates that choosing the right mandi at the right time is crucial. Selling without proper market knowledge may lead to losses, but a well-planned decision can help farmers take advantage of price fluctuations.
