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 ₹770 (8.6%) across reporting yards means a seller near a higher-paying mandi can realise meaningfully more — provided cartage and grading don't eat the difference.
05How Today Compares to the 30-Day Trend
Over the last 30 days, Cotton prices at Anjad APMC ranged between ₹4,000 and ₹9,300, with the average around ₹7,695. A rate sitting near the top of this range points to firm demand, while a move toward the lower band suggests easing pressure.
