Following the Diwali break, the Sehore agricultural market opened its auction on Thursday, recording soybean at ₹8,100 per quintal and wheat at ₹3,551 per quintal, with roughly 10,000 quintals of produce received on day one.
The Sehore agricultural produce market in Madhya Pradesh resumed trading on Thursday after the Diwali holidays, kicking off the day's auction at an auspicious time chosen by market officials. Traders and farmers gathered at the mandi to sell their harvests under the renewed schedule.
In the first batch of transactions, soybean fetched a record‑high price of ₹8,100 per quintal, while wheat was sold at ₹3,551 per quintal. These rates reflect strong demand from both local millers and regional buyers who are keen to secure quality grains for the upcoming sowing season.
Market data released by the mandi showed that about 10,000 quintals of various crops arrived on the opening day, indicating a robust inflow of agricultural produce after the festive break. The volume underscores the importance of Sehore as a trading hub for central India’s grain and oilseed markets.
Analysts note that the favourable price levels could encourage farmers in surrounding districts to bring more produce to Sehore in the coming weeks, potentially stabilising regional price trends ahead of the Rabi season.
