. Prepare Your Chillies for Sale

Harvest fresh and firm green chillies.

Remove damaged or diseased chillies.

Wash (if needed) and keep them in clean baskets or crates.

Avoid over-stacking to prevent bruising.

2. Choose Where to Sell
A. Local Market (Mandis)

Take your produce to the nearest agricultural market (mandi).

Check the current market rate for green chillies.

Negotiate with traders for the best price.

B. Direct to Retailers / Shops

Approach vegetable shops, hotels, restaurants nearby.

Often they pay better than mandi prices and buy in bulk.

C. Online / Wholesale Platforms

Platforms like Ninja Kisan, AgroBazaar, BigHaat, IndiaMart allow selling directly.

You can reach buyers outside your village or district.

D. Processing Units

Some chilli processing units buy bulk green chillies for paste or powders.

You may get a fixed contract price.

3. Pricing

Check the daily market rate at mandi or online platforms.

Try selling in bulk rather than small quantities for better profit.

Keep your chillies fresh, as freshness can fetch a higher price.

4. Packaging and Transport

Use clean, ventilated crates or boxes.

Avoid plastic bags; they make chillies sweat and spoil.

Transport carefully to prevent damage.
