Wholesale vs. Retail: The Real Price of Sesame in Mehsana
This price of ₹118/kg is the mandi's wholesale modal price — the rate at which most deals happened in the mandi. It is not the price you pay at a vegetable market, grocery shop or quick-commerce app.
On its way from the mandi to your home, produce usually passes through a commission agent, a wholesaler and a retailer, with margins, loading, packing, transport and 8–15% wastage added at each stage. As a general rule, retail prices run 25–60% above the mandi modal price. So at today's ₹118/kg, the retail price in Mehsana is expected to be about ₹148–₹189/kg, and it can be even higher on quick-commerce apps.
If you are a bulk buyer — a hotel, canteen, food processor or FPO — the mandi price is your starting point for negotiation, not your final cost.
Main Factors Behind Sesame Price Changes
1. Arrivals (supply)
Prices soften when arrivals are high, and climb quickly as soon as arrivals drop.
2. Weather and crop cycle
When rain or a heatwave suddenly cuts arrivals, prices jump sharply.
3. Quality and grade
A-grade, uniformly sized Sesame can fetch a much higher price than a mixed lot.
4. Transport and fuel costs
Diesel prices and distance to the mandi directly affect a truck's landed cost and the final price.
5. Demand nearby
When demand rises in neighbouring cities and mandis, local prices get pulled up too.
6. MSP (Minimum Support Price)
Sesame is covered by the Minimum Support Price (MSP), a floor rate set by the government — although the daily mandi price can still move above or below it.
Seasonal Price Pattern for Sesame
Based on the typical crop-cycle trend — expect some variation each year
Prices highest
Before sowing (lean season)
Prices softest
Right after harvest
Oilseed prices are softest right after harvest and are also strongly influenced by edible oil import prices and international rates.

Sesame Price Difference by Grade
On Agmarknet most deals are recorded under the general variety ("Other"), which hides the real difference at the gate. In practice, uniformly sized, fresh A-grade produce fetches more than the modal price, while mixed, old or blemished produce sells for less. Sorting and grading before the auction is the cheapest way to move up the day's price range.
| Grade / Variety | Difference from Modal Price |
|---|---|
| A-grade | +₹200 to +₹500 |
| Standard / Other | Around the modal price |
| Desi / local variety | −₹100 to −₹300 |
| B-grade / mixed | −₹300 to −₹600 |
