September month which all vegetables to plant for higher demand

Question

Anurag Gupta · Answer

Planting vegetables in September can be very profitable if you align with the upcoming seasonal demand (winter & festival season). This is the time when kharif crops are ending and rabi (cool-season) vegetables can be started.

Here’s a clear overview of high-demand vegetables you can plant in September for better market prices:

Leafy & Fast-Growing Greens
Spinach (Palak)
Coriander (Dhaniya)
Fenugreek (Methi)
Amaranthus (Chaulai)
These grow quickly (20–30 days) and get high demand during festivals and winter onset.

Bulb & Root Vegetables
Radish (Mooli)
Carrot (Gajar)
Turnip (Shalgam)
Beetroot
Onion (for Rabi crop)
These fetch good prices in winter markets and can be stored or stagger-harvested for better rates.

Fruit Vegetables (for late winter harvest)
Tomato
Cauliflower
Cabbage
Brinjal (Baingan)
Capsicum / Shimla Mirch
Chilli

These need slightly cooler climate at flowering, so sowing in September ensures harvest in December–January when demand and prices are high.
