The current trend shows clear price premiums for good-quality tomatoes with proper sorting and packing. Mandis with better logistics and demand like Pimpri and Sri Ganganagar are rewarding farmers with higher returns.
What Should Farmers Do Now?
Got high-quality tomatoes?
Send them to strong-performing mandis like Sri Ganganagar, Pimpri, or Parshivni where prices are at or above ₹4000/quintal.
Have average or semi-ripe produce?
Either sell quickly in local mandis before spoilage or hold if you expect nearby price rise. Avoid holding for long without cold storage.
Track arrivals daily:
Price is directly affected by mandi arrivals — any surge may bring down rates next week.
Avoid panic selling:
Prices are good now, but volatility remains. If you can manage quality and logistics, aim for high-value mandis.
Conclusion: Tomato prices have entered a bullish phase but not uniformly. Farmers who can act smart, choose the right mandi, and time the market just right may walk away with record profits.
The key? Information and strategy. Stay updated on mandi trends, choose your selling center wisely, and capitalize on current demand surges before the market adjusts.
