04The Spread: Best vs Cheapest Yard
The distance between the best- and lowest-paying mandi is the day's real opportunity for Apple.
A spread of ₹16,000 (84.2%) across reporting yards means a seller near a higher-paying mandi can realise meaningfully more — provided cartage and grading don't eat the difference.
05How Today Compares to the 30-Day Trend
Over the last 30 days, Apple prices at Patiala APMC ranged between ₹6,000 and ₹14,000, with the average around ₹9,440. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.
