Advice for Farmers:

1. Farmers planning to sell rice should not choose a mandi based solely on its highest quoted price. They should compare the rate available for their particular variety and quality, along with the minimum and maximum prices reported in nearby markets.
2. For example, Mumbai recorded a maximum price of ₹12,500 per quintal, but the minimum was ₹8,000. Similarly, Pune reported prices ranging from ₹5,000 to ₹8,700, while Solapur recorded a range of ₹3,600 to ₹7,560.
3. Before transporting their produce, farmers should also calculate transportation costs and consider the likely selling price for their own rice variety. A market offering a higher maximum price may not necessarily provide the best return for every farmer.
4. Checking the latest mandi prices before leaving for the market can help farmers compare their options and make a more informed selling decision.
