Expert Tips for Farmers:

1. Consider selling in markets offering higher prices: The highest prices today were recorded in Punjab’s Tanda Urmur market and Uttar Pradesh’s Maigalganj market, where onions reached up to ₹2,400–₹2,500 per quintal. Farmers located nearby can benefit by selling in these markets to earn better profits.
2. Store onions in areas with lower prices: Markets where prices are still between ₹1,000 and ₹1,300 per quintal (such as Kopaganj, Sri Ganganagar, and Gurugram), farmers should consider storing their onions and selling later when the market improves.
3. Factor in transportation costs: If the market offering better rates is far away, calculate the transport expenses and price difference carefully. Sometimes, selling directly to bulk buyers in local markets can be more profitable.
4. Focus on quality and grading: Clean, uniform-sized, and rot-free onions always fetch higher prices in mandis. Proper sorting and grading can help maximize returns.
5. Keep track of daily market trends: Onion prices are changing daily depending on weather conditions and supply levels. Farmers are advised to stay updated using mobile apps or online mandi price portals.
