Important Advice for Farmers

1. Hold stock in severely low-price mandis: Ujjain, Sarangpur, and Ratlam, where prices collapsed, farmers should avoid selling immediately. Rates may recover in the coming weeks.
2. Farmers with good-quality or red onions can sell now: Markets like Shujalpur and Khandwa are still offering profitable prices.
3. Protect onion quality: Onions stored in open spaces lose quality quickly. Proper grading, sorting, and packing can help secure better prices.
4. Avoid flooding the market in high-arrival regions: Areas with heavy arrivals, farmers should release their stock gradually to reduce market pressure and prevent further price drops.
