Rajasthan is the 2nd-largest producer of Groundnut in India. Groundnut (मूँगफली) here is a oilseed crop with a Kharif (Sow: Jun-Jul, Harvest: Oct-Nov) season (Kharif (Sow: Jun-Jul, Harvest: Oct-Nov)). The prices above reflect wholesale rates at Rajasthan's regulated APMC mandis; the actual rate you get depends on grade, moisture and the day's arrivals.
Groundnut MSP & Procurement in Rajasthan
The Minimum Support Price for Groundnut is ₹7,517/quintal (Kharif 2026-27). Government agencies procure Groundnut at MSP in Rajasthan during the marketing season, so you should never sell below ₹7,517. Today's market modal price of ₹6,913 is below MSP - prefer a government procurement centre.
