2. Consider Storage in Low-Price Areas: In markets such as Jabalpur and Babra, where prices are currently below MSP, delaying sales or storing produce could lead to better returns later.
3. Traders’ Opportunity: Traders can explore supplying quality wheat to low-arrival mandis like Jambusar and Sanand to capture high demand.
4. Seasonal Outlook: With the festive season and export demand expected to rise, prices may remain firm or increase in the coming weeks.
