Wheat Market Prices Today - (28 Feb, 2026)

Farmers across Madhya Pradesh witnessed sharp fluctuations in wheat prices today, 28 February 2026, due to heavy arrivals in major mandis. The impact was clearly visible on wheat mandi rates—while prices dropped as low as ₹1,100 per quintal in some markets, premium-quality wheat fetched prices as high as ₹3,380 per quintal in select mandis.

The most concerning aspect for farmers was that in several markets, wheat was sold well below the Minimum Support Price (MSP of ₹2,425), increasing distress among growers. However, mandis such as Vidisha, Bina, and Ujjain emerged as bright spots, where farmers received prices hundreds of rupees above MSP. This clearly shows that choosing the right mandi has become the most critical factor in today’s wheat market.

If you are planning to sell your wheat crop, this latest mandi price report will help you identify where prices are strong and where markets are still under pressure.

Price and Arrival Trend Analysis:

The strongest price surge today was recorded in Vidisha mandi, where premium wheat touched ₹3,380 per quintal, nearly ₹955 above MSP. Wheat prices in Bina and Ujjain also remained firm, trading between ₹2,861 and ₹2,991 per quintal.

On the downside, mandis such as Berasia and Dewas faced intense price pressure due to heavy arrivals, with minimum prices slipping to ₹1,100–₹1,699 per quintal, far below MSP.

Terms of arrivals, Dewas (914 tonnes), Ujjain (821 tonnes), and Vidisha (522 tonnes) recorded the highest inflow of wheat, contributing to price volatility. Meanwhile, mandis like Ratlam, Shajapur, and Obedullaganj saw extremely low arrivals, keeping prices relatively stable due to limited supply.

Key Advice for Farmers:

  • Farmers with good-quality or mill-quality wheat should prefer mandis like Vidisha, Bina, and Ujjain to secure better prices.
  • Avoid panic selling in markets where wheat is trading below MSP (such as Dewas and Berasia). If possible, opt for government procurement or short-term storage.
  • Prices in high-arrival mandis may remain under pressure; closely monitor the market for the next 7–10 days before selling.
