Welcome to Kashmir Apple Market, your daily source for apple mandi rates, box-wise price updates and market information for Kashmir's apple growers, fruit traders and commission agents.
Today's market report covers three mandis featured in our daily rate sheet: Jablipora Mandi, Shopian Mandi and Delhi Azadpur Mandi. The report includes Kulu Delicious, Red Delicious and American apples, with the minimum and maximum prices shown for different box sizes and packing categories.

Jablipora Mandi's daily rate sheet lists Kulu Delicious and Red Delicious apples across Sawa No, 4 Layer, 5 Layer and Roll packing categories.
| Variety | Grade | Box Size | Minimum (₹) | Maximum (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kulu Delicious | A Grade | Sawa No | 550 | 800 |

- Red Delicious, A Grade, 4 Layer is listed at ₹1,000–₹1,300.
Growers should compare fruit quality, colour, grading and packing before comparing prices between lots. A higher listed price for one packing category does not automatically mean that every box in that category will receive the same rate.
2. Shopian Mandi Apple Rates – 13 October 2026
Shopian's reported entries include Kulu Delicious and Red Delicious across several packing categories. The following figures are taken from the supplied daily poster.
| Variety | Grade | Box Size | Minimum (₹) | Maximum (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kulu Delicious | A Grade | 4 Layer (Standard) | 900 | 1,200 |
| Kulu Delicious | A Grade | Extra Ordinary | 1,300 | 1,700 |
| Kulu Delicious | A Grade | 5 Layer | 1,000 | 1,300 |
| Kulu Delicious | A Grade | Sawa No | 300 | 600 |

Shopian market observations

- Kulu Delicious, A Grade, 4 Layer is listed at ₹900–₹1,200.
- Red Delicious, A Grade, Peti is listed at ₹800–₹1,200.
For growers selling in Shopian, it is useful to compare the rate of similarly graded and packed fruit rather than relying only on the maximum price advertised for a mandi. The actual return depends on the quality and quantity of saleable fruit in each lot.
3. Delhi Azadpur Mandi Apple Rates – 13 October 2026

| Kulu Delicious | A Grade | Box | 700 | 900 |
Note: The original poster lists multiple Azadpur entries with the generic label “Box.” Their exact packing specifications are not provided for each row, so they have been retained as separate reported entries rather than assigned invented box sizes.

- American, A Grade, Half Box is listed at ₹500–₹700.
- American, A Grade, Peti is listed at ₹1,100–₹1,400.
- Red Delicious, A Grade, entries range from ₹800–₹1,300 and ₹900–₹1,300 in the reported rows.
Traders and growers should confirm the exact box weight, grade and packing specification before using these figures to calculate wholesale margins or compare them with prices in Kashmir.
Jablipora vs Shopian vs Delhi Azadpur: Market Comparison
| Comparison | Jablipora | Shopian | Delhi Azadpur |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lowest listed rate | ₹550 | ₹300 | ₹500 |
| Highest listed rate | ₹1,500 | ₹1,700 | ₹1,600 |
| Varieties listed | Kulu, Red Delicious | Kulu, Red Delicious | Kulu, Red Delicious, American |
Shopian has the highest maximum figure among the three mandi summaries in today's poster, at ₹1,700. However, these figures cover different varieties and packing categories. They should not be treated as a direct comparison of equivalent lots or as proof that one mandi will always give growers a better return.
Practical Selling Guidance for Apple Growers
1. Grade fruit consistently
Keep fruit sorted by size, colour, quality and grade. Mixed-quality packing can make it harder to compare offers and may affect the price buyers are willing to pay.
2. Compare identical packing categories
Before accepting a rate, confirm the box size, packing material, approximate net weight and grade. The same variety can command different prices depending on these details.
3. Calculate the net return
Do not judge a sale only by its headline rate. Consider packing, transport, commission, labour, loading and unloading costs, along with any deductions, before deciding which offer is more profitable.
4. Confirm current buyer offers
Daily reported prices are useful reference points, but they are not guaranteed offers. Confirm the latest rate with the commission agent or buyer before dispatching fruit or finalizing a transaction.
