Wheat Market Prices Shock Farmers! Rate Reaches ₹2,868 per Quintal in UP Mandis

Wheat Market Prices Today - (23 May, 2026)

Farmers in Uttar Pradesh witnessed steady wheat arrivals across major mandis on 23 May 2026. According to today’s mandi update, wheat prices mostly remained close to the government-fixed MSP of ₹2,585 per quintal or slightly above, indicating a stable market trend.

The latest report highlights that the most talked-about market was Firozabad mandi, where wheat prices surged to a maximum of ₹2,868 per quintal — one of the strongest rates of the day.

Meanwhile, in Ujhani and Safdarganj mandis, heavy arrivals kept prices near MSP levels. Due to higher supply, there was limited price upside, but overall market stability remained intact.

Market signals suggest that demand for good-quality wheat is still strong. Clean, dry, and well-graded wheat is fetching prices above MSP in several mandis, while average-quality produce is under slight pressure.

Let’s take a look at mandi-wise prices, arrivals, and what strategy farmers should follow.
