Advice for Farmers:

1. Farmers should check prices at one or two nearby mandis before selling potatoes or tomatoes. Do not make a decision based only on the highest quoted price; also consider market arrivals, crop quality and variety.
2. Markets receiving heavy arrivals may see pressure on prices, while lower arrivals can sometimes support better rates. However, this should be assessed along with the actual quality and demand for the produce.
3. Farmers should also calculate transportation and other market-related expenses before sending produce to another mandi. A higher quoted price is worthwhile only if the additional costs do not offset the price advantage.
