New Celery Crop Arrivals Creating Market Pressure

Fresh celery is hitting the Indian markets, and with larger production this season, sellers are feeling the pressure. Favorable weather conditions have boosted yields, with estimates suggesting a 20-25% increase in production. Meanwhile, last season’s stock is still available with growers and stockists, keeping the market well-supplied.

Adding to this, imports from Pakistan are being sold at lower prices in border areas of Rajasthan and Punjab, making it harder for domestic sellers to hold firm on pricing. Some markets have even started mixing various qualities of celery to stay competitive.

Buyers Holding Back, Waiting for Stability

Demand, both domestic and export, remains steady, but buyers are playing it safe. With plenty of stock in the pipeline and expectations of further price drops, most traders are waiting for the market to settle before making bulk purchases.

Harvest Update: Most of the Crop Ready for Market

About one-third of the new crop has already been harvested, while the remaining fields in major growing states like Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat are ripening fast. In key production hubs like Javra, Neemuch, Mandsaur, Vikarabad, Nandurbar, and Jamnagar, farmers are preparing to bring in the rest of the harvest soon.

Conclusion: Celery Would Take A Dip in Coming Months

Market analysts believe that if prices dip a little more, business will pick up again, especially during the lean season when supply naturally tightens. Stockists may see opportunities to buy at lower rates now, hoping for better returns later in the year.
