Why Moong (Green Gram) Prices Change

  • Seasonal arrivals: Prices fall when fresh harvest floods the mandi (peak arrival) and recover in the off-season. Knowing the moong (green gram) harvest window helps you time sales.
  • Weather: Drought, floods, frost or unseasonal rain damage the crop and cut supply, pushing prices up; a bumper harvest pushes them down.
  • Government policy: MSP sets a price floor; export bans/permissions, buffer-stock release and import duty all move prices.
  • Demand: Festivals, processing-industry demand and export orders raise prices.
  • Grade & quality: Clean, dry, well-graded produce always fetches a premium over mixed lots.
