Complete Market Guide & Live Prices for Elephant Yam(Suran)/Amorphophallus in Gujarat

Elephant Yam, scientifically known as Amorphophallus paeoniifolius and locally referred to as Suran, is a highly profitable tuber crop gaining significant traction among farmers in Gujarat. Cultivated extensively in regions like Valsad, Navsari, and parts of Saurashtra, Suran is a tropical tuber that thrives in the warm, humid climate of the state. It is a long-duration crop, typically requiring 8 to 10 months to reach maturity. The plant is prized for its high yield potential and medicinal properties, making it a staple in both culinary and pharmaceutical industries. In Gujarat, the demand for Suran peaks during the festive seasons, particularly around Diwali and during traditional wedding ceremonies, where it is a preferred vegetable. Cultivation requires well-drained, fertile soil, preferably sandy loam or alluvial soil, with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.0. Farmers in Gujarat are increasingly adopting drip irrigation systems to manage water usage efficiently, as the crop is sensitive to waterlogging. The crop is relatively resistant to major pests, though collar rot can be an issue if drainage is poor. By following scientific planting techniques, such as using high-quality corms (weighing 500g to 1kg) and ensuring proper spacing, farmers can achieve yields ranging from 30 to 50 tonnes per hectare. The economic viability of Suran is bolstered by its long shelf life, allowing farmers to hold stock and sell when market prices are favorable. As a low-maintenance, high-value crop, Suran serves as an excellent alternative to traditional cash crops, providing stable income for small and marginal farmers in Gujarat who are looking to diversify their agricultural portfolio.

Comparing daily prices across different regional markets before dispatching your harvest is crucial. Tracking minimum, maximum, and modal price trends helps you bypass local aggregators (middlemen) and secure the absolute best profit margin for your agricultural produce.
