The gap between the day's dearest and cheapest market shows how wide the buying opportunity is — and whether it's worth carting produce further out.
A spread of ₹800 (12.3%) across reporting yards means a seller near a higher-paying mandi can realise meaningfully more — provided cartage and grading don't eat the difference.

Over the last two weeks, Brinjal prices at Panisagar APMC ranged between ₹1,900 and ₹4,000, with the average around ₹2,220. A rate sitting near the top of this range points to firm demand, while a move toward the lower band suggests easing pressure.
