Farmers, today’s onion mandi update may truly surprise you! If you’re planning to sell your produce, this report is very important. On 19 March 2026, onion prices across the country showed extreme fluctuations. In some markets of Bihar, onions sold for up to ₹2,800 per quintal, while in several markets of Madhya Pradesh, prices dropped as low as ₹100 per quintal.
The main reason behind this huge difference is the balance between supply and demand. Markets with low arrivals and strong demand are offering higher prices, while markets with heavy arrivals are seeing clear price pressure.
Another key factor is quality. Well-dried, good-quality onions are getting premium prices, while wet or average-quality produce is selling at much lower rates.
