The onion and garlic markets in Indore and Ujjain mandis of Madhya Pradesh witnessed significant fluctuations today. Due to increased supply, onion prices have dropped by ₹2-₹3 per kg. Meanwhile, rising demand for garlic has caused a sharp increase in its prices.

In the past few days, garlic prices have surged by ₹300 to ₹500 per quintal, raising hopes among farmers and traders. However, the continuous decline in onion prices has left small traders and farmers concerned. Currently, there is a noticeable price difference between Maharashtra onions and local onions, while super bold and Ooty garlic varieties are fetching high prices.

Will onion prices continue to fall in the coming days, or will garlic prices climb even higher? Given the current trends, it is crucial to keep an eye on market movements. Let's take a look at today’s latest mandi rates.

Important Tips for Farmers – Understand Market Trends and Sell at the Right Time:

• Monitor Supply Before Selling Onions
  If onion supply in your mandi is continuously increasing, prices may fall further. Instead of selling a large quantity at once, sell gradually to maximize profits.
• Maintain Garlic Quality
  To take advantage of high garlic prices, focus on growing premium varieties like Super Bold and Ooty Garlic. Proper grading and clean packaging can help fetch better prices.
• Ensure Proper Storage
  If onion or garlic prices are lower than expected, avoid rushed sales and focus on proper storage. Onions should be stored in well-ventilated warehouses, while garlic requires dry storage to prevent spoilage and secure better prices later.
• Analyze Market Trends and Sell Smartly
  Onion prices are currently low, but they may rise during festive seasons or when production decreases. If you can store your stock, waiting for the right time can help you get higher prices.
