Prices are usually lowest around harvest (Sep & Oct) when everyone sells at once, and highest in the lean season (Jul & Aug). If you can store safely, holding into Jul & Aug often fetches a better rate.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

When should I sow Moong (Green Gram)? +

Moong (Green Gram) is mainly a Kharif crop, usually sown in Jun-Jul and harvested in Sep-Oct. Exact timing depends on your region, variety and the monsoon, so confirm with your local KVK and the live weather forecast.

How much can I earn from one acre of Moong (Green Gram)? +

At a typical yield of about 4 quintal per acre and the current MSP of ₹8,780 per quintal, one acre gives roughly ₹35,120 of gross income at MSP (before costs). Today's mandi price is ₹6,000 per quintal. Use the calculator above with your own acreage and yield.

Should I sell Moong (Green Gram) at MSP or in the mandi? +

Compare both. If the mandi price is above MSP, the open market usually pays more; if it is below MSP, selling to a government procurement centre at MSP protects you. Prices are often lowest right at harvest when supply peaks, so storing and selling in the lean season can fetch more if you can hold the crop.
