Maize prices in Tamil Nadu are likely to hover around ₹2,700 a quintal at the farm gate during the harvest season, according to a pre-harvest price forecast by Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU).
The university’s Domestic and Export Market Intelligence Cell (DEMIC), under the Department of Agricultural Economics, Centre for Agricultural and Rural Development Studies (CARDS), arrived at the forecast after analysing maize prices in the Udumalpet market over the past 15 years and conducting a market survey.
