Groundnut Prices Reach Record High in Kurnool
Groundnut, a major crop in Kurnool district, has reached a very high price at the Emmiganur market.
A quintal of groundnut is now being sold for up to Rs 10,940, which is the highest price ever recorded.
This happened because farmers are growing less groundnut and there is a lot of demand for it.
The average price is around Rs 9,810 per quintal.
This is good news for farmers, especially those in areas where droughts are common.
Traders think the prices will stay high if the supply remains low and demand stays strong.
