Advice for Farmers:

1. Before selling your rice, check today's mandi prices in nearby markets and compare the rates available for your particular variety. Although Gorakhpur and Barabanki reported exceptionally high maximum prices on October 12, the rice varieties listed in these markets were not the same as those reported in most other mandis.
2. Farmers should not choose a market solely because it has the highest quoted price. Consider the variety and quality of your produce, local demand, market arrivals and transportation costs before making a selling decision. Comparing these factors can help you assess whether travelling to another mandi is likely to provide a better return.
3. Remember that a mandi's maximum recorded price does not guarantee that every lot will sell at that rate. Confirm the prevailing price for your specific rice variety before transporting your produce.
