About Green Chilli
Green chilli is picked fresh for daily cooking and exported to the Gulf and Europe; the rest of India's chilli crop ripens red for the dry chilli trade.
Where Green Chilli Is Grown in Gujarat
The main green chilli districts of Gujarat are Anand, Kheda, Surat, Bhavnagar. Gujarat is India's leading producer of groundnut, cotton, castor, cumin and isabgol, and a big grower of wheat, bajra, potato, banana, mango, sesame and onion. Its market yards in Unjha, Gondal, Rajkot and Deesa are among India's busiest, and its ports handle much of India's agri exports.
Season in Gujarat
Kharif (Sep–Jan picking) and rabi (Jan–Apr picking). Exact arrival dates in Gujarat depend on local sowing and the monsoon, so check current arrivals before planning purchases.
How Green Chilli Is Sold in Gujarat
Farm produce is sold through regulated APMC market yards under the state's agricultural produce marketing law, run by the state agricultural marketing board, with many yards linked to eNAM. Gujarat's large market yards are known for organised auctions and modern facilities.

Quality and Price Notes
Buyers grade green chilli by length, colour, pungency and freshness. Exporters need straight, unblemished pods with stalks, packed within hours of picking. Prices rise in the peak monsoon when rain damages crops and transport is disrupted, and fall in winter when supply from many states overlaps.
