The prices above reflect wholesale rates at Madhya Pradesh's regulated APMC mandis; the actual rate you get depends on grade, moisture and the day's arrivals.
Soybean MSP & Procurement in Madhya Pradesh
The Minimum Support Price for Soybean is ₹5,708/quintal (Kharif 2026-27). Government agencies procure Soybean at MSP in Madhya Pradesh during the marketing season, so you should never sell below ₹5,708. Today's market modal price of ₹7,030 is above MSP - the open market is paying well.
