02How Strong Is Today's Rate, Really

03How Other Mandis Compare Today

| Mandi | Price (₹ / quintal) |

| 1 Melaghar APMC Leader | ₹550 |
| 2 Sonamura APMC | ₹220 |
| 3 Boxonagar APMC | ₹220 |
| 4 Masli APMC | ₹180 |
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 ₹370 (205.6%) across reporting yards means a seller near a higher-paying mandi can realise meaningfully more — provided cartage and grading don't eat the difference.
