In most markets of Madhya Pradesh, prices remained in the medium range. For example, oranges sold at ₹2,500 to ₹6,000 in Indore, ₹2,000 to ₹4,000 in Sagar, and ₹3,000 to ₹3,600 in Jabalpur.
Terms of arrivals, Azadpur APMC, Delhi recorded the highest arrival with 431.7 tonnes, which is why the price range there remained quite broad. It was followed by Mumbai Fruit Market with 82.7 tonnes, Nagpur with 50 tonnes, and Pune APMC with 27.3 tonnes. In high-arrival mandis, prices varied more sharply based on quality. Meanwhile, in smaller markets like Karera, Hingna, and Kamthi, arrivals were extremely low only 0.1 to 0.15 tonnes so prices stayed relatively supported due to limited supply.
It is clear that where arrivals were higher, the price gap was wider, and where arrivals were limited, selected quality fruit managed to fetch stronger rates.
Advice for Farmers:
Farmers who have good-quality and properly graded oranges may get better returns in markets like Pune, Azadpur, Pune (Moshi), and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. In markets where prices are currently lower, such as Amravati or Hingna, it may be better not to rush into selling and instead watch the market trend before making a decision.
If the fruit quality is premium, sending it to larger consumer markets can be more profitable. Farmers who focus on packing, grading, and size sorting are also more likely to get higher rates in the market.
