Wheat market scenario across India sends a strong warning signal to farmers and traders alike. While wheat was traded below the Minimum Support Price (MSP ₹2,425) in several markets, premium Sharbati wheat crossed ₹4,000 per quintal in select mandis. Limited arrivals, variety quality, and regional demand created sharp price differences from market to market.
Maharashtra, wheat prices brought relief to farmers in a few key mandis, whereas in parts of Madhya Pradesh, prices falling below MSP raised serious concerns. The big question remains where was it profitable to sell wheat today, and where should farmers wait? This state-wise mandi report, along with arrival–price analysis and farmer advisories, helps answer that question.
