Planning your Castor crop
Castor (अरंडी) is grown mainly in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh. It is a Kharif crop, usually sown in Jul-Aug and harvested in Jan-Feb. Today's mandi price is around ₹7,900. Use the planner above to see what your field could earn, then decide where to sell.
Tip: mandi prices are usually lowest right at harvest, when everyone sells at once. If you can store safely, selling a few months into the lean season often fetches a better rate. Track the live Castor price, watch the weather before sowing and harvesting.
