The makhana market thrives on a short harvest cycle and a long period of supply manipulation. And right now — that critical phase has already begun. If you source makhana for manufacturing or private label sales, you’re already entering the danger zone.
So, the big question is… are you prepared?
Understanding the Makhana Supply Cycle
1. Harvest Season — The Short Window of Plenty
The makhana harvest lasts only a few months. During this time, supply is high, prices are fair, and manufacturers feel comfortable planning ahead.
But this comfort ends quickly… very quickly.
2. The Long Off-Season — Where the Real Game Begins
From now until July, the makhana market shifts entirely. The ones who control maximum inventory start controlling the price. That’s the moment when margins either collapse or multiply — depending on your place in the supply chain.
Why Makhana Prices Skyrocket After Harvest
1. The Hoarders’ Playbook: Artificial Scarcity
Some large investors and traders buy and store massive stock, not to sell — but to wait.
They spike the price when buyers are desperate.
2. Market Speculation and Hidden Middlemen
These entities add zero value to quality, processing, or logistics…
Yet they earn the most.
And that’s where the problem begins.
Impact on B2B Buyers & Private Label Brands
1. Margin Instability
Price hikes eat profits — especially in competitive retail markets.
2. Supply Interruptions
Production lines halt. Targets fail. Growth slows.
3. Compromised Quality
Older, poorly stored stock floods the market disguised as “premium” makhana.
