Farmer Advisory

1. Heavy arrivals mean lower returns – Farmers in UP mandis like Bahraich, Azamgarh, and Lucknow may earn less if they sell immediately.
2. Sell in low-supply, high-price mandis – Locations such as Palghar (MH) and Dohrighat (UP) are offering better deals.
3. Storage advantage in Maharashtra – With consistently high rates in Sangli and Solapur, storing produce could bring higher profits in the coming weeks.
4. UP farmers should consider shifting sales to nearby mandis with stronger prices (₹3,400–₹3,500/quintal) instead of selling in low-rate markets.
