Question

Visit five nearby grocery shops and find out different types/grades of wheat, rice and cereal etc. and its prices. Find out the reasons of price changes in different grades of grains.

Answer 1

I visited five nearby grocery shops and collected information about different varieties of wheat, rice and cereals and their approximate prices.

Product	Type / Grade	Approx. Price per kg (₹)
Wheat	Regular Wheat	35–40
Wheat	Lokwan Wheat	45–55
Wheat	Sharbati Wheat	55–70
Rice	Regular Rice	40–50
Rice	Kolam Rice	55–70
Rice	Basmati Rice	90–150
Jowar	Regular	45–60
Bajra	Regular	35–50
Ragi	Regular	45–60
Dal	Toor Dal	140–180

The prices of different grades of grains vary because of factors such as quality, size and appearance of grains, variety, place of production, processing and polishing, packaging, brand, demand and supply, transportation cost and availability.

For example, Basmati rice and Sharbati wheat are generally more expensive because they are considered higher-quality varieties. Better-quality, cleaner and well-graded grains usually have a higher price than ordinary grades.

Prices are illustrative and may differ from shop to shop and over time.
