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 ₹21,000 (233.3%) across reporting yards means a seller near a higher-paying mandi can realise meaningfully more — provided cartage and grading don't eat the difference.
05How Today Compares to the 3-Day Trend
Over the last 3 days, Copra prices at K.R. Pet APMC ranged between ₹12,900 and ₹30,000, with the average around ₹19,900. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.
