How to read Mandi Prices & Price Discovery
A complete step-by-step walkthrough explaining benchmark modal rates, weekly pricing trends, and historical season oscillations to maximize crop value.
01
Understanding the Modal Price
The Modal Price is the most critical benchmark in daily price reporting. It is not the average, but the most frequently transacted price during that day's session. Traders and buyers use this as the primary reference point.
About This Guide
Knowing the exact Modal Price of the day prevents local traders from underpaying you. You can confidently reject offers that fall below this benchmark.
02
Reading Weekly Trend Trajectories
Price intelligence is about momentum. The platform displays weekly trends as percentages and graphs. If prices show positive weekly gains, it indicates strong demand in the regional wholesale market.
About This Guide
Trend charts show whether prices are rising or falling. If prices are moving upwards, holding your crop for a few more days can secure a higher price.
03
Evaluating Seasonal Price Swings
Commodity markets are highly seasonal. Prices dip during peak harvesting months due to high supply and rise during planting months. The seasonality index maps historical monthly high/low averages.
