Local procurement costs are the absolute foundation of competitive international export pricing, making real-time mandi data essential for export success. Recent trading figures from Gujarat’s Agricultural Produce Market Committees (APMCs) reveal a highly nuanced pricing landscape for groundnuts in late June 2026, characterized by minor daily fluctuations and a slightly softer overall pricing trend heading into the new season.

Current APMC Spot Prices in Gujarat

According to the latest mandi price tracking data released by Commodity Online for the third week of June 2026, groundnut spot prices across major Gujarat trading hubs are demonstrating notable localized variability. Right in the Morbi APMC yard, the average groundnut price currently stands at an accessible Rs 5,825 per quintal, with the lowest bulk market prices touching Rs 4,750 and premium, high-grade lots reaching up to Rs 6,900 per quintal. Meanwhile, the bustling Rajkot APMC is reporting slightly higher overall valuations, particularly for the premium Bold peanut variety. These larger kernels are actively trading at an average of Rs 7,000 per quintal, experiencing daily trading bands that fluctuate between Rs 5,800 and Rs 7,800. Across the broader state, the average modal price for standard lots has hovered tightly between Rs 7,030 and Rs 7,365 over the past few weeks.

Despite the steady, uninterrupted flow of daily crop arrivals rolling into the mandis, agricultural market analysts tracking the sector report that the overarching price trend in Gujarat reflects a slight, gradual decline. Interestingly, the daily arrival volumes have not shown a significant inverse correlation with the observed price movements. This anomaly suggests that the current market softening is driven far more by broader macroeconomic sentiment, sufficient warehouse buffer stocks held by crushers, and the anticipated progress of the upcoming kharif sowing season, rather than any immediate supply gluts on the auction floor. This relatively stable yet soft trading environment comfortably allows domestic buyers and export processing mills to procure raw materials without facing the intense pressure of sudden, speculative price spikes.

India Export Perspective

For a Morbi-based agricultural export firm like ATYA GLOBAL, the physical proximity to the Morbi APMC and its current, favorable average price of Rs 5,825 per quintal provides a massive, distinct procurement advantage. The prevailing softness in these local spot prices translates directly into highly competitive Free on Board (FOB) container offers at the nearby Mundra and Kandla ports. By carefully monitoring these micro-level, daily price fluctuations, export procurement managers can aggressively optimize their bulk buying strategies, specifically targeting premium Bold and Java varieties when momentary daily dips occur. This localized sourcing efficiency is absolutely critical for maintaining healthy, sustainable profit margins when negotiating CIF contracts with discerning, price-sensitive buyers across Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

Key Takeaway for Peanut Exporters:

Capitalize on the localized price softness in the Morbi APMC (averaging Rs 5,825/quintal) to aggressively build cost-effective inventory for highly competitive FOB Mundra export quotes.
