Record prices for fresh red chillies at Nandurbar market yard

Nandurbar, Nov 11 (UNI) Farmers growing red chillies have received a major boost as the Nandurbar Agricultural Produce Market Committee is witnessing record prices for fresh red chillies this season. Fresh red chillies are fetching rates ranging from ₹5,000 to ₹9,000 per quintal, while dried chillies are commanding prices ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹15,500 per quintal.
Around 200 to 250 vehicles carrying chillies arrive at the market every day.
The arrival of chillies at the market began around six weeks ago, and approximately 60,000 quintals have already been brought in.
Although chilli cultivation this year has dropped by nearly 50% compared to last year, market arrivals have remained encouraging so far.
Apart from Nandurbar, farmers from Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Dhule district are also bringing their produce to the market.
However, as chilli cultivation is heavily dependent on water availability, the total arrivals this season are expected to remain limited to around 1 lakh to 1.5 lakh quintals, according to estimates.
