Puttady cardamom auction live today
Puttady in Idukki district, Kerala, is one of the important centres for India's small-cardamom e-auction system.
Cardamom growers and traders across areas such as Kumily, Vandanmedu, Nedumkandam and other parts of the Idukki cardamom belt closely follow Puttady auction results.
When checking the Puttady cardamom auction live today, don't look only at the maximum price.
Pay attention to the:
- Average price: gives a better indication of the overall price level of cardamom sold during that auction session.
- Maximum price: shows the highest price achieved by a particular lot and may represent premium-quality cardamom.
- Quantity sold: helps show how much cardamom actually cleared during the auction.
These figures together provide much better market context than looking at a single high price.
Bodinayakanur cardamom auction live today
Bodinayakanur, commonly called Bodi, is another important small-cardamom e-auction centre.
Located in Tamil Nadu near the Kerala cardamom-growing belt, Bodi plays an important role in cardamom trading and price discovery.
Farmers and traders searching for cardamom auction live today should therefore check both Puttady and Bodinayakanur rather than relying on only one centre.
The two centres may report different average and maximum prices during different auction sessions.
That does not automatically mean the overall cardamom market has moved sharply.
Differences can be influenced by factors such as:
- Quality of cardamom offered
- Quantity arriving for auction
- Buyer demand
- Auctioneer
- Grade and colour
- Moisture and curing quality
- Number of lots offered
- Quantity actually sold
Puttady vs Bodinayakanur cardamom price looks at those differences in more detail.
Average price vs maximum price: which is more important?
This is one of the most important things farmers should understand when reading today's cardamom auction results.
The maximum price does not mean every farmer's cardamom is worth that amount per kg. It represents the highest-priced lot during that particular auction session.
For understanding the broader market, the weighted average price is generally more useful.
The maximum price is still valuable because it can indicate what exceptional or premium lots achieved.
Therefore, when checking cardamom auction live today, compare:
Average price + maximum price + quantity sold + auction centre
rather than using the maximum price alone.
Why compare Puttady and Bodi auctions?
Cardamom from the Western Ghats moves through a connected market, but Puttady and Bodinayakanur can produce different auction results.
For example, one centre may show a stronger average while the other remains relatively stable.
Looking at both centres helps answer an important question:
Is the overall market strengthening, or was the movement limited to one auction session?
This is particularly useful for growers deciding when to sell their dried cardamom and traders evaluating current market conditions.

What affects today's cardamom auction price?
Cardamom prices can change from one auction to another.
1. Supply
Higher arrivals can affect competition among buyers, while tighter supply may support prices when demand remains strong.
2. Cardamom quality
Colour, size, curing quality, moisture and overall appearance can influence the value of individual lots.
3. Buyer demand
Demand from wholesalers, exporters, stockists and other buyers can influence auction activity.
4. Seasonal production
Harvest cycles and crop availability affect how much cardamom reaches the market.
5. Weather
Rainfall, temperature and growing conditions across the cardamom belt can influence production and quality. Belt weather covers Puttady, Kumily, Nedumkandam and Bodinayakanur.
6. Export and domestic demand
Changes in domestic consumption and international demand can also influence the broader cardamom market.
This is why today's auction price should be interpreted as current market information rather than a guaranteed future price.

Farm-gate prices can differ from published auction results because quality, grading, transport, commission and local demand can affect the final amount offered to a grower.
Don't depend only on WhatsApp price messages
Cardamom farmers frequently receive daily price information through WhatsApp groups and other social networks.
These updates can be useful, but an isolated screenshot may not tell you:
- Which auction centre produced the price
- Which auctioneer conducted the session
- Whether the number is an average or maximum
- How much quantity was sold
- Which date the result belongs to
Before making a selling decision, verify the auction date, centre and complete result.
SpiceValue is designed to make this comparison easier.
