The arrival of paddy in India’s markets has brought good news for farmers. In many regions, paddy prices are rising, offering a positive boost to the agricultural economy. Currently, paddy prices in major markets have reached between Rs 3,220 and Rs 3,240 per quintal. For instance, in Hoshangabad, the minimum price is Rs 3,220, and the maximum price is Rs 3,240 per quintal, while in Bareilly, it is Rs 3,220 per quintal.
This price rise is largely influenced by government procurement at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) and strong demand in local markets. The MSP for paddy in 2025-26 has been set at Rs 2,389 per quintal, up Rs 69 from last year.

Market experts say the balance of demand and supply favors farmers this season. Upcoming government procurement at MSP and potential demand for buffer stocks have also contributed to rising prices. As paddy is a key Kharif crop, higher prices help increase farmers’ income and strengthen the rural economy.
Experts predict that paddy prices may remain stable or increase further as government procurement begins. If procurement rises at MSP or demand for buffer stocks grows, prices could reach up to Rs 3,300 per quintal.
Paddy prices vary by quality. Regular paddy may fetch lower prices, while premium varieties like Basmati can get higher prices.
Prices fluctuate daily, so farmers should check current market rates at their nearest mandi before selling.
Making informed decisions based on market trends and MSP ensures maximum benefit.
