Radish is India's fastest-maturing vegetable (25-30 days from sowing) and a staple winter crop for small farmers who grow it as a quick cash crop between main vegetables. The mooli of Patiala (Punjab) and Nasik (Maharashtra) are particularly prized; India also grows Asian giant radishes (daikon type) for the Korean kimchi export market.

Is There an MSP for Radish?

Radish does not have a Minimum Support Price - its price is fully market-driven by supply and demand. This makes radish prices more volatile than MSP crops, so timing your sale and comparing mandis matters even more. Watch the trend and sell when arrivals are lower and demand is higher.

Why Radish Prices Change

  • Seasonal arrivals: Prices fall when fresh harvest floods the mandi (peak arrival) and recover in the off-season. Knowing the radish 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: 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.

How to Get the Best Price for Your Radish

  1. Compare mandis: Check the state-wise rates above and visit 2-3 nearby mandis before selling - same-day rates can differ ₹100-500/quintal.
  2. Grade and clean your radish - graded produce fetches 15-20% higher bids.
  3. Time the market: Avoid selling at peak-arrival when prices bottom out. For perishables, use a nearby cold storage to hold for a few weeks.
