Farmers are currently witnessing a highly volatile onion market prices. A quick look at today’s mandi prices shows a huge variation within a single day while prices in some markets have dropped as low as ₹123 per quintal, others are offering up to ₹2,000 per quintal.
According to the latest report dated 27 April 2026, the biggest factors influencing the market are arrivals (supply) and quality. Mandis receiving heavy arrivals are experiencing price pressure, whereas markets with limited supply and better-quality produce are offering stronger rates.
This clearly indicates that choosing the right mandi and timing the sale correctly is crucial. Selling in the wrong market at the wrong time can lead to losses, but a smart strategy can still help farmers earn good profits even in this fluctuating market.
