Farmers are currently witnessing a mixed trend in the wheat market prices. While overall prices appear stable, a closer look reveals two very different scenarios. According to today’s mandi update, regular wheat is trading around the MSP of ₹2,585 per quintal, whereas Sharbati wheat has shown a sharp rise, with prices reaching up to ₹3,900 per quintal.
As per the latest report dated 04 May 2026, the market is clearly being driven by variety-based demand (Sharbati vs regular wheat). While prices of normal wheat remain steady, Sharbati wheat is offering significantly higher returns to farmers.
This means that choosing the right variety, mandi, and timing has become crucial. Selling without proper market awareness could mean missing out on premium prices, while a well-planned strategy can help maximize profits.
