03How Other Mandis Compare Today
Here's how Carrot rates stacked up across reporting markets on 21 Aug 2026. A clear leader usually anchors price expectations across nearby mandis.
| Mandi | Price (₹ / quintal) |
|---|---|
| 1 Harippad Market APMC Leader | ₹8,000 |
| 2 Kondotty Market APMC | ₹6,000 |
04The Spread: Best vs Cheapest Yard
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 ₹2,000 (33.3%) 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 30 days, Carrot prices at Harippad Market APMC ranged between ₹5,600 and ₹9,500, with the average around ₹7,595. A rate sitting near the top of this range points to firm demand, while a move toward the lower band suggests easing pressure.
