Kota Mandi Price : As the monsoon season gradually begins to retreat, crop arrivals continue steadily in agricultural markets (mandis) across India. Despite the rainy conditions in many parts of the country, there has been no significant decline in the supply of crops. Market experts are observing continuous fluctuations in the prices of various agricultural commodities. In the current off-season, which typically witnesses lower arrivals, India’s mandis are still receiving substantial quantities of produce, reflecting strong agricultural activity and storage release from farmers and traders.
Taking a closer look at Bhama Shah Mandi, one of the prominent agricultural produce markets, Saturday saw the arrival of approximately 30,000 bags of various crops. Among the major changes in price trends, soybean saw a decline of ₹40 per quintal, whereas mustard rose by ₹140 per quintal. The mandi also witnessed an inflow of around 14,000 bags of garlic, with garlic prices ranging between ₹1500 to ₹7000 per quintal, depending on quality and grade. Garlic packed in boxes (box packing) traded between ₹4000 to ₹7500 per quintal. However, garlic prices on average fell by ₹300 per quintal on the day. Meanwhile, in the grocery market segment, prices of edible oils remained mostly stable, offering some relief to consumers and traders alike.
