Karnataka Adike Farmers: Know whether to sell New Rashi or Old Rashi now. Compare prices, selling strategies, and expert tips to earn more from your arecanut crop in 2025.
Many arecanut (ಅಡಿಕೆ) growers in Karnataka are now asking:
“Should I sell New Rashi (ಹೊಸ ರಾಶಿ) now? Or wait and sell Old Rashi (ಹಳೆಯ ರಾಶಿ) later?”
To help you make the best decision for maximum profit, here is a clear comparison of New Rashi vs Old Rashi, with expert-backed strategies.
🔹 New Rashi (ಹೊಸ ರಾಶಿ) – Best for Early Private Sales
- 🔆 Color: Bright, clean-looking adike
- 📏 Size: More uniform, looks attractive to private buyers
- 📈 Market Price Range: ₹57,000 – ₹61,000 / Quintal
- ⏰ Best Time to Sell: 1–2 weeks after full drying
- 🚛 Demand From: Shivamogga, Channagiri, Sagara private traders and exporters
➡️ Pro Tip: Sell early (after drying) for best private tender rates. These buyers pay extra for clean and bright supari.
🔸 Old Rashi (ಹಳೆಯ ರಾಶಿ) – Best for Delayed Sales in APMC
- 🟤 Color: Slightly dull, heavier
- ⚖️ Weight: Retains more weight after long storage
- 📉 Market Price Range: ₹52,000 – ₹56,000 / Quintal
- 🗓️ Best Time to Sell: After September, when supply of new rashi reduces
- 🏬 Demand From: APMC Mandis, bulk wholesalers, betel nut processors
➡️ Pro Tip: Store carefully and wait till September-October. Low supply = higher APMC tender price for Old Rashi.
🎯 Expert Strategy (2025 Season):
✅ If you have well-dried, bright adike → Sell as New Rashi this month (August)
✅ If your stock is slightly dull, heavier → Wait 1–2 months and sell as Old Rashi when demand increases
💡 Some smart farmers in Shivamogga region earned ₹2,000–₹3,000 extra per quintal by timing their sale this way.
