Groundnut Prices Improve Amidst Better Trading Activity in UP
New Delhi: Groundnut prices recorded an improvement of ₹100–200 per quintal in Jhansi, Mahoba, and Mauranipur in Uttar Pradesh (UP), driven by reduced supply pressure and a resurgence in demand from buyers. A rise of ₹20 was also observed in Solapur, Maharashtra, while prices remained stable in top-producing states such as Gujarat and Rajasthan.
