Soybean Cultivation in Telangana
Telangana is the 4th-largest producer of Soybean in India. Soybean (सोयाबीन) here is a oilseed crop with a Kharif (Sow: Jun-Jul, Harvest: Sep-Nov) season (Kharif (Sow: Jun-Jul, Harvest: Sep-Nov)). The prices above reflect wholesale rates at Telangana's regulated APMC mandis; the actual rate you get depends on grade, moisture and the day's arrivals.
Soybean MSP & Procurement in Telangana
The Minimum Support Price for Soybean is ₹5,708/quintal (Kharif 2026-27). Government agencies procure Soybean at MSP in Telangana during the marketing season, so you should never sell below ₹5,708. Today's market modal price of ₹6,769 is above MSP - the open market is paying well.
Where to Sell Soybean in Telangana
Sell at your nearest APMC mandi - major ones include Gaddiannaram APMC, Warangal APMC, Nizamabad Regulated Market, Karimnagar Mandi. Compare rates across 2-3 mandis the same day, grade and clean your produce for 15-20% higher bids, and register on eNAM to reach buyers beyond Telangana.
